Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to draw a specific country by basemap?

Hi,

An easy way is to use the data from http://www.gadm.org/ and to plot it with m.readshapefile()

HTH,

    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.html

    
    And 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.

    

    Eric
