[Matplotlib-users] Create image with higher resolution basemap

[jorma <al...@jo...>]

Hi Folks -

i have a simply Python script below that shows a low res basemap of Maui
using the Blue Marble imagery. Can anyone provide info on how to create a
high res map? Thanks!

from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
 
map = Basemap(projection='merc', lat_0 = 21, lon_0 = -156,
    resolution = 'f', area_thresh = 0.1,
    llcrnrlon=-156.753926, llcrnrlat=20.537775,
    urcrnrlon=-155.958679, urcrnrlat=21.058561)

map.bluemarble() 
map.drawcoastlines()
map.drawcountries()
map.drawmapboundary()
 
lon = -156.325691
lat = 20.922652
x,y = map(lon, lat)
map.plot(x, y, 'bo', markersize=14)
 
plt.show()
