Philip: To change the color of the lat/lon lines, use the color keyword in drawparallels and drawmeridians (i.e. color="red"). To change the font color for the labels, use fontdict=dict(color='red'). The plot title color can be changed in the same way. -Jeff > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > -- Jeffrey S.
