[Matplotlib-users] basemap: polar stereographic projection and clabel

[Marcello V. <mar...@bo...>]

When I plot contours in a stereographic south pole plot with a bounding 
latitude and the rounded clipping

Basemap(projection='spaeqd',lat_0=-90,lon_0=180,resolution='l',boundinglat=-40,round=True)

I see that the contours are correctly cut-off but not the contour 
labels. They appear to be plotted according to a rectangular frame and 
not the rounded one (see attached figure).

Is it possible to mask the labels without having to mask the data?

This issue may be related to an older topic:
http://www.mail-archive.com/mat...@li.../msg02892.html
and to a more recent bugfix
https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/pull/89
but I do not see any other clue

thanks in advance
