[Matplotlib-users] [basemap] EASE grid projection

[Jose Gomez-D. <jgo...@gm...>]

Hi,
I'd like to plot some EASE Grid global data (the EASE grid is defined for a
cylindrical equal area projection). In proj4 parlance, it is defined as

+proj=cea +lon_0=0 +lat_ts=30 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +a=6371228 +b=6371228 +units=m
+no_defs

My data are gridded, and I want to use either pcolormesh or imshow to plot
them on a map. Apart from reprojecting into something that basemap deals
with natively, is there something else that I can do within
python/matplolib to plot the data without reprojecting it?

Thanks!
Jose
