Thanks, that a step, but how do I tell matplotlib where to then put
this map? It needs to be on the current figure with the current axes
but between 0 and 1 in radius.
Imagine this plot but the black circle instead contains a map of the
earth as seen from space in the right viewing geometry.

I can work out the geometry and all but putting the map in that black
region has me baffled.

Brian: You can make the basemap axes sit inside your other figure by
setting the axes limits manually. Even if you could figure out exactly
where to put it though - it will cover more than the black region (the
basemap axes will be square). Perhaps the axes background can be set to
be transparent - I don't know for sure.

Here is an example of the general usage for an orthographic projection.
def genMap(fig, ax, llcrnrlon,llcrnrlat,urcrnrlon,urcrnrlat):
fig.sca(ax)
m =
Basemap(resolution='i',projection='ortho',lon_0=(urcrnrlon+llcrnrlon)/2,lat_0=(urcrnrlat+llcrnrlat)/2)
m.drawcoastlines()
m.drawmapboundary(fill_color='aqua')
m.drawstates(linewidth=3)
m.fillcontinents(color='coral',lake_color='aqua')
m.drawcountries(linewidth=3)
where:
llcrnlon = lower left corner longitude
llcrnlat = lower left corner latitude
urcrnlon =upper right corner longitude
urcrnlat = upper right corner latitude

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

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?
