Hi,
Im trying to create a precipitation contour plot using imshow() and
basemap.
Id like to draw the imshow() plot so that it overlays the filled
continents, yet NOT the continental outlines.
unfortunately, it appears that imshow()'s graphics are always drawn
before everything else, so its 'zorder' argument is useless with basemap.
the imshow() output is always at the bottom layer, with everthing else
being overlaid on it & covering it up.
is there a work-around for this, so that I can layer imshow()'s output
between my calls to 'basemap.fillcontinents()' and
'basemap.drawcoastlines()'???
please help,
thanks,
p.romero
I don't think this is possible - zorder doesn't work with images. You
can use transparency though.
