Re: [Matplotlib-users] [ANN] basemap matplotlib toolkit 0.1.1

[Ted D. <ted...@jp...>]

What I did in the past was to use a heuristic that said something like: if 
the next point jumps more than 80% (or something like that) of the full map 
range, then do a linear interpolation to find the point at the boundary and 
add that to the line.  Then split the line and start a new curve on the 
other side.

We probably won't get to working on this until Apr-May but I'll let you 
know what we come up with.  I'll try to set up some type of general purpose 
functions and then you can decide if they have a place in the basemap module.
