From the KNOWN_BUGS file:
* The fillcontinents method doesn't always do the right thing. Matplotlib always tries to fill the inside of a polygon. Under certain situations, what is the inside of a coastline polygon can be ambiguous, and the outside may be filled instead of the inside. To trigger this, run the garp.py example with lon=-71,lat=-33 (Santiago, Chile). Workaround - mask the land areas with the drawlsmask method instead of filling the coastline polygons. -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
