Dear Jeff & ALL,
Are there any examples of the use of the drawmapscale() Basemap
method? I can use this myself and will also add any examples to the
forthcoming "Basemap Cookbook" website (for this, I am compiling all
available examples).
Thanks in advance!
Best wishes,

Dear Jeff,
Thanks.... Unfortunately, the map scale cannot be drawn for
cylindrical projections like the Equirectangular default...

Dear Jeff,
2008/12/8 Jeff Whitaker <jswhit@...146...>:
Mauro: That's because the default is not really a map projection at all -
it just displays the data in lat/lon coordinates. The map scale really
has no meaning in that case.
Sure, however some biological journals insist that authors provide
these scales (and in at least one case I known of, also a wind
rose!!!!) on all maps, even if when they have no meaning (as is the
case with the Equirectangular projection). Regrettably, as I mentioned
earlier, there have been no discussion of map projections -- their
meaning and significance -- among biogeographers.
With best regards,
···
