Hi, Trying the code at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/users/ortho.html , for zooming in a certain region on a globe, I have found some issues with the approach provided. For example, it does not work on the poles. Here is my suggestion for a zoom with a factor = coef.
######################################################################### from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure() # global ortho map centered on lon_0,lat_0 lat_0=90.; lon_0=0. # resolution = None means don't process the boundary datasets. m1 = Basemap(projection='ortho',lon_0=lon_0,lat_0=lat_0,resolution=None) width = m1.urcrnrx - m1.llcrnrx height = m1.urcrnry - m1.llcrnry coef = 0.5 width = width*coef height = height*coef m = Basemap(projection='ortho',lon_0=lon_0,lat_0=lat_0,resolution='l',\ llcrnrx=-0.5*width,llcrnry=-0.5*height,urcrnrx=0.5*width,urcrnry=0.5*height) m.drawcoastlines() m.drawcountries() # draw parallels and meridians. m.drawparallels(np.arange(-90.,120.,30.)) m.drawmeridians(np.arange(0.,360.,60.)) m.drawmapboundary() plt.show() ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
