Hi,

I've been trawling round the internet for a while trying to work out if basemap could be made to plot using a UTM zone projection. I've found some references to pyproj that could be used to convert out of a UTM projection, but I haven't found any references to defining a custom projection for basemap. Is it possible?

Also, there is not a lot of documentation regarding pyproj and I find this a little odd considering it comes packaged with basemap.

Many Thanks,

Mat


Mat: Basemap can plot in the tranverse mercator projection (projecton='tmerc') - UTM zones are transverse mercator with specific lat/lon boundaries and a WGS84 ellipsoid. I suppose I could add UTM zone support if there is enough demand for it.
