It depends on how far you want to go. * Manually setting ticks is a easiest solution, I guess. * The next step would be to create your custom tick locator & formatter http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/ticker_api.html While this is not that difficult, you will need to spend some time. * axes_grid toolkit has limited support for arbitrary coordinate system. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/axes_grid/demo_curvelinear_grid.html * create your own projection. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/add_new_projection.html Unless you're familiar with matplotlib and some of it internals, the last two options is not recommended.
