[Matplotlib-users] reprojecting a grid / mlab or basemap or gdal??

Hi Stan, Thank you for taking the time to check this for me. I did switch up to Matplotlib 1.0.0 and Python 2.6, and that solved my problem. I'm tempted to chalk the whole thing up to having a corrupted Matplotlib installation, except that it did happen on two different computers. All the

Jeff, thanks for the answer. Unfortunately I have a problem due to the 'polar' nature of the grid, the xin, yin values are not increasing. I tried both passing lat and lon grids or flattened vectors of the original data, but neither works. You can see my method here, which is a new method of my

I believe I've found a problem with the following cookbook example: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Animations?action=show#head-3d51654b8306b1585664e7fe060a60fc76e5aa08. Specifically, the example calls canvas.copy_from_bbox() before the initial draw(). This doesn't throw an error, but
