I am using Basemap, and trying to create two maps:
One large-scale map, and a small-scale inset map of the world
centered on the location of the large-scale map. My ultimate goal is
to create a figure where the inset map is inserted into a corner of
the large-scale map. I can see two ways of doing this:
1) Create both as encapsulated postscript images separately, and put
them together in a later "compositing" process. (I'm doing this
already).
2) Create both as basemap instances, and then draw the smaller one on
top of the large-scale one. I have no idea how to do this.
A problem I have encountered with the first method is that my image
background is set to white by default. I've tried to make it
transparent by doing the following:
fig = figure(figsize=(5,5),frameon=False) #turn the frame off completely
fig.figurePatch.set_alpha(0.0) #tried setting this to 1.0 and 0.0,
neither works
Method #2 would be cleaner, if I could do what I wanted to do in
terms of transparencies, but if not, I'll take method #1.
Does anyone know if it is possible to set the image background
transparent for encapsulated postscript output?
Thanks,
Mike
