This may be a question for Jeffrey Whitaker but welcome anyone's help.
I used to use the m_map tool for matlab
(http://www.eos.ubc.ca/~rich/map.html
<http://www.eos.ubc.ca/%7Erich/map.html>). Does anybody know how to
draw the same maps in matplotlib (BaseMap)? Specifically, how to draw
axes in such figures:

<http://www.eos.ubc.ca/%7Erich/private/extblueocean.gif> or

Thanks a lot.
Can you be more specific about what you need help with? Is it drawing
the map itself, or drawing the lines on the map? examples/nytolondon.py
shows how to draw great circles, which is similar to the
extblueocean.gif example.
If you are asking how to draw that black and white border around the
map, that is not supported. However, it is easy to draw labelled
meridians and parallels (with the drawparallels and drawmeridians class
methods). Docs are at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/api/index.html, and
there are lots of examples in the 'examples' directory of the source
distribution.
