    Hello all,<br>
    <br>
    I'm trying to use the shadedrelief() method to paint the background
    of a scatter plot, but it fails. The lines below are a minimal
    working example:<br>
    <br>
    <tt>In [1]: from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>In [2]: world_map = Basemap(projection='cyl',
      llcrnrlat=-70., urcrnrlat=85., llcrnrlon=-180., urcrnrlon=180.,
      resolution='l')</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>In [3]: world_map.shadedrelief()</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>---------------------------------------------------------------------------</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>IndexError                                Traceback (most
      recent call last)</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>&lt;ipython-input-3-2f6045a33141&gt; in &lt;module&gt;()</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>----&gt; 1 world_map.shadedrelief()</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mpl_toolkits/basemap/__init__.pyc
      in shadedrelief(self, ax, scale, **kwargs)</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>   3997             return
      self.warpimage(image='shadedrelief',ax=ax,scale=scale,**kwargs)</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>   3998         else:</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>-&gt; 3999             return
      self.warpimage(image='shadedrelief',scale=scale,**kwargs)</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>   4000 </tt><tt><br>

      np.concatenate((self._bm_lons,self._bm_lons+360),1)</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>   4118                 self._bm_rgba = \</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>   4119                
      np.concatenate((self._bm_rgba,self._bm_rgba),1)</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>IndexError: axis 1 out of bounds [0, 1)</tt><br>
    <br>
    Anyone seen this error before? I'm using python 2.7.6, numpy 1.10.4,
    matplotlib 1.5.1 and basemap 1.0.7. The latter three were downloaded
    as source archives and installed using 'python setup.py install'.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks,<br>

      <b>Q:</b> What if you strapped C4 to a boomerang? Could this be an
      effective weapon, or would it be as stupid as it sounds?<br>
      <b>A:</b> Aerodynamics aside, I’m curious what tactical advantage
      you’re expecting to gain by having the high explosive fly back at
      you if it misses the target.<br>
