Im having an issue with the plotting of contours using basemap. My contours are incorrectly being plotted on top of my basemap coastlines&continents. Ive attached an image as an example: Note that the red contour lines near land areas are OVERLAPPING the coastlines & continents, instead of being plotted BELOW them. Here are the commands that I used to create this image (in the same order that I called them...) m=basemap(...) Z=create_my_data_array(...) ... cs=m.contour(X,Y,Z,linewidths=1.25) m.drawcoastlines() m.fillcontinents(color='grey') Since I am calling the 'm.drawcoastlines()' and 'm.fillcontinents()' functions AFTER having plotted my contours, I would expect that the coastlines & continents would be plotted ON TOP of the previously drawn contours. Is this correct? This appears to work fine for the 'basemap.contourf()' but not for the 'basemap.contour()' function. Is this a bug, or by design? How can I go about correcting this, so that the 'basemap.contour()' function draws the contours BEFORE drawing the coastlines & filled continents? Please help, Thanks, P.Romero _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™: Life without walls. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_allup_1a_explore_032009
