=== projmap === A wrapper to matplotlib's Basemap module to make the usage of a map for a specific project or region simpler and more dependable. Projmap allows you to define all the parameters necessary to initiate Basemap in a config file. The package also has functions to nice looking maps with only one command.

== Installation == pip install --user -e git+https://github.com/brorfred/projmap.git#egg=projmap

== Usage ==

= Define a project in one of the following files: =

./region_maps.cfg ~/.region_maps.cfg

An example project can look like this:

[safr] #The handle the project proj.description: Southern Ocean south of South Africa #Long description base.projection: stere # Settings for the basemap class base.llcrnrlon: -70 # All keywords can be used base.llcrnrlat: -60 # Read more at base.urcrnrlat: -20 # http://matplotlib.org/basemap/users/mapsetup.html base.urcrnrlon: 30 # base.lat_0: -40 # Remember to begin all keyworrds with 'base.' base.lon_0: 0 # base.resolution: i # proj.merid: [-60, -40, -20, 0, 20, 40] # Where to draw meridians proj.paral: [-60, -50, -40, -30] # Where to drar parallels

Example of usage:

import projmap

#list all available regions projmap.list()
#lists all settings for a region projmap.list(' #handle')

#Create a map instance mp = projmap.Projmap('handle')

#Make a nice looking map mp.nice()
