[Matplotlib-users] Basemap - UTM Support

[Nick E. <nic...@gm...>]

Hi All,

Trying to move from ArcGIS into pure python GIS, but am a little surprised
to find that UTM is not (directly) supported as a projection. Going through
the machinations in the utmtest.py file
<https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/blob/ee6a2f7f95b7a5eff022fcbb2800d7c50b8c97b5/examples/utmtest.py>
every time I want to plot a map in UTM seems a little unwieldy.

Please excuse my ignorance, but is there a reason it is so hard to support
/ any plans to integrate in the future / any other easier paths to plotting
UTMs I don't know about?

Thanks,

Nick
