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
Brian: Something like this perhaps?
from pylab import *
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
lons = linspace(0, 360, 361)
lats = 40.*ones(len(lons))
map = Basemap(projection='ortho',lon_0=270,lat_0=90.)
x,y = map(lons,lats)
map.plot(x,y,color='y')
map.bluemarble(scale=0.5)
show()

Hello all,
I am plotting satellite orbit files and it looks really nice to
plot an Earth in the center with the continents on it to orient
people to where the spacecraft is. Does anyway know how to do
this? All I seem to be able to do is create a whole globe as the
figure.
In this simple example:
from pylab import *
r = ndarray(40)
r[:] = 3.3
rad = linspace(0, 2*pi, 40)
figure()
subplot(111, polar=True)
plot(rad, r, lw=3)
draw()
wouldn't it look great to have the earth plotted in the space up
to 1.0 (as measured in earth radii)?
Thanks much,
Brian
Have you checked out the basemap tool?
