I tried pcolor, but it seems to have much higher memory usage ... the
data set I'm using renders the map using contourf(x,y,z,100)
relatively quickly (~10 sec) and with reasonable memory usage, and
will imshow(z) even faster (although, as I said, without projection) ,
but pcolor(x,y,z) fails with a

I've been playing with some of the projections in matplotlib,
recently, and have some questions/noticed some odd behavior:
1. Is there any way to activate a projection mode with the pyplot
interface other than the subplot(111,projection='whatever') method a
