[Matplotlib-users] draw contourf on top of continents with basemap?

[Chao Y. <cha...@gm...>]

Dear all,

I want to draw a contourf with the data covering N>45 (high latitude) using
a 'npstere' projection.

The problem is if I draw continents with a gray color,
(m.fillcontinents(color='0.5'))
the contourf lay which comes later will  be below the continents and
completely invisible.
Does anyone else have this and any suggestions?

thanks,

Chao
