Jesper: Here's a better way, that allows you to label the meridians and
parallels. It will only work for projection='cyl', although a similar
solution could be worked up for 'merc' and 'mill'.
from matplotlib.toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import pylab as p
def resetmapbounds(map,llcrnrlon,llcrnrlat,urcrnrlon,urcrnrlat):
map.llcrnrlat = llcrnrlat; map.llcrnrlon = llcrnrlon
map.urcrnrlat = urcrnrlat; map.urcrnrlon = urcrnrlon
map.llcrnry = map.llcrnrlat; map.llcrnrx=map.llcrnrlon
map.urcrnry = map.urcrnrlat; map.urcrnrx=map.urcrnrlon
return map
fig = p.figure()
# create the Basemap instance
map = Basemap()
map.fillcontinents(color='coral')
map.drawparallels(p.arange(-90,91,30),labels=[1,1,1,1])
map.drawmeridians(p.arange(-180,181,30),labels=[1,1,1,1])
#p.savefig('fig1.png')
# resuse the Basemap instance, resetting the lat/lon domain.
# US Domain.
fig = p.figure()
map = resetmapbounds(map,-140,20,-65,55)
map.fillcontinents(color='coral')
map.drawparallels(p.arange(-90,91,10),labels=[1,1,1,1])
map.drawmeridians(p.arange(-180,181,10),labels=[1,1,1,1])
#p.savefig('fig2.png')
# Europe Domain.
fig = p.figure()
map = resetmapbounds(map,-20,30,40,80)
map.fillcontinents(color='coral')
map.drawparallels(p.arange(-90,91,10),labels=[1,1,1,1])
map.drawmeridians(p.arange(-180,181,10),labels=[1,1,1,1])
#p.savefig('fig3.png')
p.show()
