Hi! I don't know whether it is easy to produce a plot of a shapefile (a geographical information systems vector file format, with an attached database) using MPL: An example would be to have the a map with the mean temperature for every country in the month of august mapped to a colour. The shapefile has a "dbf" database with the temperature, and the polygons making up the country boundaries can be extracted with GDAL/OGR.
Has anyone done anything like this? I guess that for very detailed shapes (lots of polygons with loads of vertexes), it might be slow, and of course, we need to get the data into Python first, but any pointers would be very welcomed!
