I tried doing something similar to this a while ago. You can use gdal to point to your tile of interest (e.g., http://khm3.google.com/kh?v=30&hl=en&t=tqsrsstr), which is a JPG (or PNG, can't remember), and then plot the RGB using imshow(). Difficulty is how to get the tile (it is documented somewhere, but I don't know how to do it). This is some sample code that seems to work, and hopefully gets the ball rolling :) import osgeo.gdal as gdal g = gdal.Open ("http://khm3.google.com/kh?v=30&hl=en&t=tqsrsstr";) R = g.GetRasterBand(1).ReadAsArray() G =g.GetRasterBand(2).ReadAsArray() B =g.GetRasterBand(3).ReadAsArray() RGB = np.array((256,256,3)) # Clearly, there must be a better way of doing this! RGB[:,:,0] = R RGB[:,:,1] = G RGB[:,:,2] = B [...] -- NERC Centre for Terrestrial Carbon Dynamics, Department of Geography, University College London Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
