Re: [Matplotlib-users] Create image with higher resolution basemap

[Benjamin R. <ben...@ou...>]

That function is merely using the (relatively) lower res image that comes
packaged with basemap, and comes with features to help downsample it if
needed. I think you can get higher res images using the wmsimage() method.

I hope that points you to the right direction!

Cheers!
