How to draw maps like in m_map tool?

Hi matplotlib users.

Has anyone gave the first steps or finished a patch for this?

I don’t have enough knowledge to propose one, but I could try to help in any improvement or testing.

Thank you,

Arnaldo.

  Hi, Jeff
  Sorry for the confusion. Yes, I mean to draw the black/white
  border (called fancy box in m_map). Drawing the maps is really
  easy to use, thanks for your great Api. Is there plan to support
  the fancy border feature in near future?
No, but patches are welcome.

  Thank you for replying.

      I used to use the m_map tool for matlab ([http://www.eos.ubc.ca/~rich/map.html](http://www.eos.ubc.ca/~rich/map.html)).
      Does anybody know how to draw the same maps in matplotlib
      (BaseMap)? Specifically, how to draw axes in such figures: [http://www.eos.ubc.ca/~rich/private/extblueocean.gif](http://www.eos.ubc.ca/~rich/private/extblueocean.gif)
      or [http://www.eos.ubc.ca/~rich/private/exmiller.gif](http://www.eos.ubc.ca/~rich/private/exmiller.gif)
      ?
      Thanks a lot.
    Can you be more specific about what you need help with?  Is it
    drawing the map itself, or drawing the lines on the map?
    examples/nytolondon.py shows how to draw great circles, which is
    similar to the extblueocean.gif example.
    If you are asking how to draw that black and white border around
    the map, that is not supported.  However, it is easy to draw
    labelled meridians and parallels (with the drawparallels and
    drawmeridians class methods).  Docs are at [http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/api/index.html](http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/api/index.html),
    and there are lots of examples in the 'examples' directory of
    the source distribution.
    HTH,
