[Matplotlib-users] Basemap - fillcontinents fills entire map region in some cases

[jtamir <jt...@ar...>]

I am creating projections centered around various locations:


m = Basemap(width=best_width, height=best_height, lon_0=centerLon
lat_0=centerLat, resolution='c',area_thresh=10000.,projection='laea')

For every location, i have the same code to fill the regions:
 
m.fillcontinents(color='#997766',lake_color='#99ffff',zorder=1)
> m.drawcoastlines(color='#000000', zorder=3)
> m.drawcountries(color="0.75", zorder=2)
> m.drawmapboundary(fill_color='#99ffff', zorder=0)
> 
For most regions, this results in the expected plot (

However, whenever the region includes South America/Antarctica,
fillcontinents will color the entire map (

Is this a known issue, and is there a way to circumvent it?

Thanks,
Jon
