Round plot with 'npstere'-projection

Serhiy: Here's a hacky workaround that does what you want. Run it in the matplotlib examples directory (it uses data files in there).

one get a square map. Is there any way to make the map round, not square?

No.

Thanks, Jeff,

could you suggest any other projection to do the job (round polar plot).

'ortho' makes a round map, but goes almost till Equator (I would rather prefer 40°)

Do 'npaeqd' and 'nplaea' make only "squares" as well?
