Thanks
Isidora:

It's probably possible, but there's no simple recipe. The drawcoastlines method returns a LineCollection which you should be able to use to do what you want. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't have time to go into any more depth right now.

Isidora: Another option would be to create a gridded field defining the area you would like to enclose, use contourf to draw the boundaries of the region, then mask out the ocean areas with the maskoceans function.

Subject: matplotlib - fill open path inside U.S. borders
Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 19:55:49 GMT

Hi,
I am trying to plot filled paths over a U.S. map.  I plot the given paths, but 
since these are not closed paths, the filling is truncated at a line drawn 
between last and first point in the path.  I want to extend the path to the 
United States border instead.


I am no expert in matplotlib or GIS.  Could anyone help me find documentation 
or blogs discussing this type of issue? I am convinced somebody else has 
already faced this problem although I have not been able to find any paper, 
documentation, blog on it.

Thank you
