Hi,
I'm new to matplotlib and I'm looking for an easy way to plot geographical
data on a background map: bkgmap.png

So far I only found out about warpimage() to do this but only part of
bkgmap.png comes up in the output image. I think this is
If you're just looking for points, you can use ax.scatter(). It will plot
the points. Also, make sure you set the zorder keyword argument in the
scatter.
Example:
x=range(10)
y=range(10)
z=range(10,20)
ax.scatter(x,y,c=z,zorder=10)
Hope this helps,
Aman

Hi,
documentation of mpl_toolkits.basemap.warpimage
(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/api/basemap_api.html#mpl_toolkits.basemap.Basemap.warpimage)
states that it could only be used with a very specific set of images:
Specified image must have pixels covering the whole globe in a
Thanks for your answer. I'm actually looking to plot filled curves whose
points are lat/lon points on top of a given background map. The problem
experienced is misrepresentation of background map when I insert it using
warpimage(), the only function to do this I found so far.

I tested the same plot with a background image in Mercator with same results
and I also tested with Mercator covering almost the entire world with the
same results. Only a little portion of the background image shows as
background although the polygon looks OK in all cases (with maps drawn and

polygon shows up OK. What should I write my own transformations for?
Because matplotlib
