imshow always assumes a regular rectangular grid of pixels. To plot image data on a non-rectilinear projection, you need to use pcolor or pcolormesh. You may also want to look at the basemap toolkit, which provides much better support for geographic projections. The ones included in matplotl

Hi, I've done some poking an I can't find a way to use imshow() to plot a luminosity map on a hammer projection. (looking to generate a plot like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:WMAP_2008.png). Just setting the projection in a call to subplot gives some axes and an off-center retangular image
