Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to plot other than rectangular grid?

[Shahar S. K. <ka...@po...>]

When using scipy.interpolate.griddada, you could use 'nearest' if your data is sufficiently dense. This will 'map' your grid onto whatever rectangular grid leaving grid points outside the convex hull of the original grid empty. Well, not empty but nan. If you do wish to interpolate your dada, you could mask the resulting rectangular grid post interpolation.

My data is defined for 0.1degree grid for the state of California, and I don’t want to interpolate my data outside of the defined grid when plotting it. I used pcolormesh() function for rectangular area maps, but it only accepts rectangular grid and I was wondering if there is a simple solution to my problem.
