[Matplotlib-users] Basemap: draw parallels/meridians based on rotated pole

[Maik R. <mai...@ar...>]

Hi,

I'm drawing a stereographic map, my data is in geographic latitude, 
longitude coordinates. But instead of drawing parallels/meridians based 
on the geographic poles I need to draw them based on the geomagnetic 
poles, that is, the poles are rotated. E.g. in 2010 the north 
geomagnetic pole was at 80.08°N 72.21°W 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_pole). In my case it's for 
aurora research, and many existing maps are drawn in this way, so 
naturally it becomes easier to compare them if they are based on the 
same coordinate system.

Is this somehow achievable with basemap? Note that I'd like to draw 
country borders etc. as well. (Otherwise I could just transform my 
geographic coordinates to magnetic coordinates and use standard basemap.)

Thanks
Maik
