The code at the end of this message is a toy example which shows the
problem I am encountering.
OS X 10.4.9 basemap 0.9.5 (Numeric 24.2 and Numpy 1.0) python 2.5
I define a map projection using Basemap, and then plot a number of
markers at various geographical locations.
I would like the map coastlines to overlay the marker symbols, that
is write over them as they pass through them.
I cannot get the coastlines to overlay the markers, no matter what
the calling sequence. The markers always obscure the coastlines.
In the basemap/example contour_demo.py, the coastlines are called
after contourf and the coastlines appear over the filled contours.
So there seems that there is something different in the plot marker
characteristics.
I am probably missing something obvious - but what?
