[Matplotlib-users] Adding zorder keyword argument to the mpl_toolkits.basemap.drawmapscale class?

[<Gui...@cs...>]

Hi folks,

I'm new to this list and first of all I'd like to thank all the matplotlib developers for putting together such a great package!!

I've been using the Basemap toolkit recently and notice that the scale is generated on a zorder=0 layer.

I sometimes have to stack different layers and assign them a zorder argument to play with their ranking. This can results in the masking of the scale bar:

As a workaround, I can set a negative zorder for the various features that could overlay the scale on the map, though.
Still, I think it would be nice to be able to have a supplementary karg added to the class.

Cheers
Gill
