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

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()

Ben, I have but no where in there do I see (or at least understand) how to draw a map on top of a current figure with set bounds in data space... Cheers, Brian On Aug 27, 2010, at 11:24 AM, Benjamin Root wrote: > On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 12:11 PM, Brian Larsen wrote: > Hello all, > > I a
