Thanks for the reponses so far, but I lied. I have more questions
1) How do I get drawmeridians() and drawparallels() to draw solid (i.e., not dashed) lines? setting linestyle='-' does not seem to work.
Mike: From the docstring:
"dashes - dash pattern for parallels (default [1,1], i.e. 1 pixel on, 1 pixel off)."
So use dashes=[1,0] to get solid lines.
2) What are appropriate values for the xoffset and yoffset keyword parameters for the above functions? I've tried several values, even altering them by a few orders of magnitude, and I can't see any difference.
"xoffset - label offset from edge of map in x-direction
(default is 0.01 times width of map in map projection coordinates).
yoffset - label offset from edge of map in y-direction
(default is 0.01 times height of map in map projection coordinates)."
So, the default is 0.01*(m.xmax-m.xmin). Making it 0.1*(m.xmax-m.xmin) makes the labels much farther out for me.
