[Matplotlib-users] Transparencies for land and sea

[Bruce F. <br...@cl...>]

Has anyone had any success in making land or sea locations transparent
in a resulting .png?  There are instances when I would like an image
to be overlayed on a map and let the underlying terrain map show
through.  Using an image as a ground overlay in Google Earth would be
an example of such a usage.

Also, I've noticed that figurePatch.set_alpha(0.0) does not apply
transparency within the bounding box.  I'm still ending up with white
areas within the bounding box.  Can transparency be set within the
basemap box?

Thanks so much!
