GSHHS data in shapefile format, it's available on the NOAA GSHHS website. If you prefer a direct link [96MB zip file]: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/data/gshhs/version2.0/shapefiles/gshhs_shp_2.0.zip Hope that helps, -Joe On Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 6:34 PM, P. R.M. wrote:

I have a non-matplotlib related project that requires usage of GSHHS dataset shapefiles. The regular GSHHS dataset doesnt appear to include political boundaries, however the GSHHS dataset used by matplotlib/basemap does include country/border data. I'd like to extract matplotlib/basemap GSHHS

Jeff, would it be possible to achieve this type of layering using multiple overlaid (sub) plots? If so, how would I go about this? do you know of any way I might be able to create a custom 'hack' into the imshow code (within the matplotlib core) ??? thanks again, p.romero > Date: Mon, 24 May

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 'zord
