Hi Zunbeltz,

Attached is an example of a custom Axes class that does what you want. There are examples at the bottom of the file that show its use. I worked on generalizing this idea for inclusion in MPL, but the code got really nasty, really quickly.

On a side note, if any of the MPL devs think this would make a useful API example (since this topic has come up a few times on the list), feel free to do whatever you want with it.

Cheers,
-Tony

Dear Tony,

Thank you very much. This is what I was looking for.
It would be nice if it is integrated in the main matpotlib;
especially if it would be possible to set the projection type in the
matplotlibrc file.
