Hi,
Adding some extra work in the readshapefile method in your code allows you to
play with the region names etc,...
I've just made a new tutorial script to show this :

Hi,
An easy way is to use the data from http://www.gadm.org/ and to plot it with
m.readshapefile()
Thank you very much. The GDAM database is great.
BTW, would you like to give some suggestions about how to color the map, i.e.,
highlight a specific region?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi all,
I'm using the Basemap module in matplotlib, it's great to draw a world map but
for a specific country. Empirically, one can draw its own country by specifying
the lats and longs like this example:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/users/geography.html
And you can use the method: drawcontries() to draw the country boundries, but
all the countries are in the same colour. Does anyone know how to highlight a
specific country? Thanks in advance.
Eric
