Mauro: I realized that this is actually possible with the Cassini
projection (the transverse aspect of the cylindrical equidistant).
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
width=20000000
m = Basemap(lon_0=0,lat_0=0,projection='cass',\
width=0.75*width,height=2*width)
m.drawcoastlines()
m.fillcontinents(color='coral',lake_color='aqua')
m.drawparallels(range(-80,81,21))
m.drawmeridians(range(-180,181,60))
m.drawmapboundary(fill_color='aqua')
plt.show()
Don't know why you would actually do it though, if you want to show
polar regions you should probably use the polar stereographic maps
(npstere, spstere).
