[Matplotlib-users] Continent Transparency

All, I often produce images for use in .KML with Google Earth. Sometimes I need the masking effect of matplotlib.toolkits.basemap.Basemap.fillcontinents but in the case of Google Earth, I need to make continents transparent on the final image. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks! Bruce

[Matplotlib-users] Ordering contourf within a range

2011-08-12 Thread Bruce Ford
In plotting the figure in the below code, I need to set the colorbar and contourf scale to a specific value range (e.g., -100 to 100). When plotting similar items, I need to ensure the scale is the same across multiple images for comparison and overide the autoscaling. Any ideas? Seems like it
