Thanks, that a step, but how do I tell matplotlib where to then put this map? It needs to be on the current figure with the current axes but between 0 and 1 in radius. Imagine this plot but the black circle instead contains a map of the earth as seen from space in the right viewing geometry. h

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Map displayed on a plot

Here is an example of the general usage for an orthographic projection. def genMap(fig, ax, llcrnrlon,llcrnrlat,urcrnrlon,urcrnrlat): fig.sca(ax) m = Basemap(resolution='i',projection='ortho',lon_0=(urcrnrlon+llcrnrlon)/2,lat_0=(urcrnrlat+llcrnrlat)/2) m.drawcoastlines()

[Matplotlib-users] Map displayed on a plot

Hello all, I am plotting satellite orbit files and it looks really nice to plot an Earth in the center with the continents on it to orient people to where the spacecraft is. Does anyway know how to do this? All I seem to be able to do is create a whole globe as the figure. In this simple ex
