Thanks! I had not figured out that the decimal coordinates used by
Basemap range from 0 to 360 (and not just from -180 to 180). Using
this tip, I could also create a map centered on the Indian Ocean. BTW,
by varying the llcrnrlat and urcrnrlat, can one also create maps
centered on the North and South poles using a Equirectangular
projection?

With best regards,
