Thanks for your great job, it's brilliant!

And sorry for the long time delay to reply your mail, as I've just been
back from the Chinese new year's vacation.

Wishing you peace, joy and happiness throughout the coming year!

 Thank you very much. The GDAM database is great.

 BTW,  would you like to give some suggestions about how to color the
 map, i.e., highlight a specific region? 

 Thanks,

 Hi all,

 I'm using the Basemap module in matplotlib, it's great to draw a
 world map but for a specific country. Empirically, one can draw
 its own country by specifying the lats and longs like this example:

 
 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/users/geography.html

 And you can use the method: drawcontries() to draw the country
 boundries, but all the countries are in the same colour. Does
 anyone know how to highlight a specific country? Thanks in advance.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to draw a specific country by basemap?

2011-01-27 Thread Thomas Lecocq 

Hi, 

that would do:
 
data = m.readshapefile(r'borders\ita_adm1','itaborder',linewidth=0.5)
italy = data[4]
print dir(italy)
italy.set_facecolors('red')
italy.set_alpha(0.5)

 
I think at some point youll meet the limitations of the method, you might need 
to use another shapefile-reading module ...

Adding some extra work in the readshapefile method in your code allows you to
