How to draw a specific country by basemap?
 
|
Hi all,
I'm using the Basemap module in matplotlib, it's great to draw a world map but for a specific country. Empirically, one can draw its own country by specifying the lats and longs like this example: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/users/geography.htmlAnd you can use the method: drawcontries() to draw the country boundries, but all the countries are in the same colour. Does anyone know how to highlight a specific country? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
An easy way is to use the data from http://www.gadm.org/ and to plot it with m.readshapefile() HTH, Thom ********************** Thomas Lecocq Geologist Ph.D.Student (Seismology) Royal Observatory of Belgium ********************** Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 16:03:27 +0800 From: [hidden email] To: [hidden email] Subject: [Matplotlib-users] How to draw a specific country by basemap?

Hi,Thank you very much. The GDAM database is great. BTW, would you like to give some suggestions about how to color the map, i.e., highlight a specific region? Thanks, Eric

Hi,
that would do: data = m.readshapefile(r'borders\ita_adm1','itaborder',linewidth=0.5) italy = data[4] print dir(italy) italy.set_facecolors('red') italy.set_alpha(0.5) I think at some point you"ll meet the limitations of the method, you might need to use another shapefile-reading module ...

Hi,
Adding some extra work in the readshapefile method in your code allows you to play with the region names etc,... I've just made a new tutorial script to show this : http://www.geophysique.be/2011/01/27/matplotlib-basemap-tutorial-07-shapefiles-unleached/ Thom ********************** Thomas Lecocq Geologist Ph.D.Student (Seismology) Royal Observatory of Belgium ********************** Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 17:59:03 +0800 From: [hidden email] To: [hidden email] CC: [hidden email]; [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to draw a specific country by basemap?
