Would there be a way to plot the borders of the continents with Basemap (or without Basemap, if there is some other way), without those annoying rivers coming along? Especially that piece of Kongo River, not even reaching the ocean, is disturbing.
EDIT: I intend to further plot data over the map, like in the Basemap gallery (and still have the borderlines of the continents drawn as black lines over the data, to give structure for the worldmap) so while the solution by Hooked below is nice, masterful even, it's not applicable for this purpose.
Image produced by:
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8, 4.5))
plt.subplots_adjust(left=0.02, right=0.98, top=0.98, bottom=0.00)
m = Basemap(projection='robin',lon_0=0,resolution='c')
m.fillcontinents(color='gray',lake_color='white')
m.drawcoastlines()
plt.savefig('world.png',dpi=75)
For reasons like this i often avoid Basemap alltogether and read the shapefile in with OGR and convert them to a Matplotlib artist myself. Which is alot more work but also gives alot more flexibility.
Basemap has some very neat features like converting the coordinates of input data to your 'working projection'.
If you want to stick with Basemap, get a shapefile which doesnt contain the rivers. Natural Earth for example has a nice 'Land' shapefile in the physical section (download 'scale rank' data and uncompress). See http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/10m-physical-vectors/
You can read the shapefile in with the m.readshapefile() method from Basemap. This allows you to get the Matplotlib Path vertices and codes in the projection coordinates which you can then convert into a new Path. Its a bit of a detour but it gives you all styling options from Matplotlib, most of which are not directly available via Basemap. Its a bit hackish, but i dont now another way while sticking to Basemap.
So:
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.collections import PathCollection
from matplotlib.path import Path
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8, 4.5))
plt.subplots_adjust(left=0.02, right=0.98, top=0.98, bottom=0.00)
# MPL searches for ne_10m_land.shp in the directory 'D:\\ne_10m_land'
m = Basemap(projection='robin',lon_0=0,resolution='c')
shp_info = m.readshapefile('D:\\ne_10m_land', 'scalerank', drawbounds=True)
ax = plt.gca()
ax.cla()
paths = []
for line in shp_info[4]._paths:
paths.append(Path(line.vertices, codes=line.codes))
coll = PathCollection(paths, linewidths=0, facecolors='grey', zorder=2)
m = Basemap(projection='robin',lon_0=0,resolution='c')
# drawing something seems necessary to 'initiate' the map properly
m.drawcoastlines(color='white', zorder=0)
ax = plt.gca()
ax.add_collection(coll)
plt.savefig('world.png',dpi=75)

How to remove "annoying" rivers:
If you want to post-process the image (instead of working with Basemap directly) you can remove bodies of water that don't connect to the ocean:
import pylab as plt
A = plt.imread("world.png")
import numpy as np
import scipy.ndimage as nd
import collections
# Get a counter of the greyscale colors
a = A[:,:,0]
colors = collections.Counter(a.ravel())
outside_and_water_color, land_color = colors.most_common(2)
# Find the contigous landmass
land_idx = a == land_color[0]
# Index these land masses
L = np.zeros(a.shape,dtype=int)
L[land_idx] = 1
L,mass_count = nd.measurements.label(L)
# Loop over the land masses and fill the "holes"
# (rivers without outlays)
L2 = np.zeros(a.shape,dtype=int)
L2[land_idx] = 1
L2 = nd.morphology.binary_fill_holes(L2)
# Remap onto original image
new_land = L2==1
A2 = A.copy()
c = [land_color[0],]*3 + [1,]
A2[new_land] = land_color[0]
# Plot results
plt.subplot(221)
plt.imshow(A)
plt.axis('off')
plt.subplot(222)
plt.axis('off')
B = A.copy()
B[land_idx] = [1,0,0,1]
plt.imshow(B)
plt.subplot(223)
L = L.astype(float)
L[L==0] = None
plt.axis('off')
plt.imshow(L)
plt.subplot(224)
plt.axis('off')
plt.imshow(A2)
plt.tight_layout() # Only with newer matplotlib
plt.show()
The first image is the original, the second identifies the land mass. The third is not needed but fun as it ID's each separate contiguous landmass. The fourth picture is what you want, the image with the "rivers" removed.
Following user1868739's example, I am able to select only the paths (for some lakes) that I want:
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8, 4.5))
plt.subplots_adjust(left=0.02, right=0.98, top=0.98, bottom=0.00)
m = Basemap(resolution='c',projection='robin',lon_0=0)
m.fillcontinents(color='white',lake_color='white',zorder=2)
coasts = m.drawcoastlines(zorder=1,color='white',linewidth=0)
coasts_paths = coasts.get_paths()
ipolygons = range(83) + [84] # want Baikal, but not Tanganyika
# 80 = Superior+Michigan+Huron, 81 = Victoria, 82 = Aral, 83 = Tanganyika,
# 84 = Baikal, 85 = Great Bear, 86 = Great Slave, 87 = Nyasa, 88 = Erie
# 89 = Winnipeg, 90 = Ontario
for ipoly in ipolygons:
r = coasts_paths[ipoly]
# Convert into lon/lat vertices
polygon_vertices = [(vertex[0],vertex[1]) for (vertex,code) in
r.iter_segments(simplify=False)]
px = [polygon_vertices[i][0] for i in xrange(len(polygon_vertices))]
py = [polygon_vertices[i][2] for i in xrange(len(polygon_vertices))]
m.plot(px,py,linewidth=0.5,zorder=3,color='black')
plt.savefig('world2.png',dpi=100)
But this only works when using white background for the continents. If I change color to 'gray' in the following line, we see that other rivers and lakes are not filled with the same color as the continents are. (Also playing with area_thresh will not remove those rivers that are connected to ocean.)
m.fillcontinents(color='gray',lake_color='white',zorder=2)
The version with white background is adequate for further color-plotting all kind of land information over the continents, but a more elaborate solution would be needed, if one wants to retain the gray background for continents.
I frequently modify Basemap's drawcoastlines() to avoid those 'broken' rivers. I also modify drawcountries() for the sake of data source consistency.
Here is what I use in order to support the different resolutions available in Natural Earth data:
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
class Basemap(Basemap):
""" Modify Basemap to use Natural Earth data instead of GSHHG data """
def drawcoastlines(self):
shapefile = 'data/naturalearth/coastline/ne_%sm_coastline' % \
{'l':110, 'm':50, 'h':10}[self.resolution]
self.readshapefile(shapefile, 'coastline', linewidth=1.)
def drawcountries(self):
shapefile = 'data/naturalearth/countries/ne_%sm_admin_0_countries' % \
{'l':110, 'm':50, 'h':10}[self.resolution]
self.readshapefile(shapefile, 'countries', linewidth=0.5)
m = Basemap(llcrnrlon=-90, llcrnrlat=-40, urcrnrlon=-30, urcrnrlat=+20,
resolution='l') # resolution = (l)ow | (m)edium | (h)igh
m.drawcoastlines()
m.drawcountries()
Here is the output:
Please note that by default Basemap uses resolution='c' (crude), which is not supported in the code shown.
If you're OK with plotting outlines rather than shapefiles, it's pretty easy to plot coastlines that you can get from wherever. I got my coastlines from the NOAA Coastline Extractor in MATLAB format:
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/shorelines.html
To edit the coastlines, I converted to SVG, then edited them with Inkscape, then converted back to the lat/lon text file ("MATLAB" format).
All Python code is included below.

Okay I think I have a partial solution.
The basic idea is that the paths used by drawcoastlines() are ordered by the size/area. Which means the first N paths are (for most applications) the main land masses and lakes and the later paths the smaller islands and rivers.
The issue is that the first N paths that you want will depend on the projection (e.g., global, polar, regional), if area_thresh has been applied and whether you want lakes or small islands etc. In other words, you will have to tweak this per application.
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
mp = 'cyl'
m = Basemap(resolution='c',projection=mp,lon_0=0,area_thresh=200000)
fill_color = '0.9'
# If you don't want lakes set lake_color to fill_color
m.fillcontinents(color=fill_color,lake_color='white')
# Draw the coastlines, with a thin line and same color as the continent fill.
coasts = m.drawcoastlines(zorder=100,color=fill_color,linewidth=0.5)
# Exact the paths from coasts
coasts_paths = coasts.get_paths()
# In order to see which paths you want to retain or discard you'll need to plot them one
# at a time noting those that you want etc.
for ipoly in xrange(len(coasts_paths)):
print ipoly
r = coasts_paths[ipoly]
# Convert into lon/lat vertices
polygon_vertices = [(vertex[0],vertex[1]) for (vertex,code) in
r.iter_segments(simplify=False)]
px = [polygon_vertices[i][0] for i in xrange(len(polygon_vertices))]
py = [polygon_vertices[i][1] for i in xrange(len(polygon_vertices))]
m.plot(px,py,'k-',linewidth=1)
plt.show()
Once you know the relevant ipoly to stop drawing (poly_stop) then you can do something like this...
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
mproj = ['nplaea','cyl']
mp = mproj[0]
if mp == 'nplaea':
m = Basemap(resolution='c',projection=mp,lon_0=0,boundinglat=30,area_thresh=200000,round=1)
poly_stop = 10
else:
m = Basemap(resolution='c',projection=mp,lon_0=0,area_thresh=200000)
poly_stop = 18
fill_color = '0.9'
# If you don't want lakes set lake_color to fill_color
m.fillcontinents(color=fill_color,lake_color='white')
# Draw the coastlines, with a thin line and same color as the continent fill.
coasts = m.drawcoastlines(zorder=100,color=fill_color,linewidth=0.5)
# Exact the paths from coasts
coasts_paths = coasts.get_paths()
# In order to see which paths you want to retain or discard you'll need to plot them one
# at a time noting those that you want etc.
for ipoly in xrange(len(coasts_paths)):
if ipoly > poly_stop: continue
r = coasts_paths[ipoly]
# Convert into lon/lat vertices
polygon_vertices = [(vertex[0],vertex[1]) for (vertex,code) in
r.iter_segments(simplify=False)]
px = [polygon_vertices[i][0] for i in xrange(len(polygon_vertices))]
py = [polygon_vertices[i][1] for i in xrange(len(polygon_vertices))]
m.plot(px,py,'k-',linewidth=1)
plt.show()

I am trying to add a function to the pycircos module written by ponnhide on https://github.com/ponnhide/pyCircos/blob/master/pycircos/pycircos.py. I tried to add a circular arrow in the circular plot, which is a patch collection from a ring and an arrow. However, when I call the function I put into the pycircos module in my python notebook, I get a very distorted shape, which has nothing to do with the ring (wedge) or the arrow (polygon).
I have integrated the following function from https://github.com/NaysanSaran/markov-chain/blob/master/notebooks/Drawing.ipynb in the following pycircos module:
def draw_self_loop(self, center=(0, 0), radius=500, facecolor='#2693de', edgecolor='#000000', theta1=-30, theta2=240):
# Add the ring
rwidth = 0.02
ring = mpatches.Wedge(center, radius, theta1, theta2, width=rwidth)
# Triangle edges
offset = 0.02
xcent = center[0] - radius + (rwidth/2)
left = [xcent - offset, center[1]]
right = [xcent + offset, center[1]]
bottom = [(left[0]+right[0])/2., center[1]-0.05]
arrow = plt.Polygon([left, right, bottom, left])
p = PatchCollection(
[ring, arrow],
edgecolor = edgecolor,
facecolor = facecolor
)
self.ax.add_collection(p)
In my python notebook, I have called the function from the class object "circle" at the second last line:
%matplotlib inline
import pycircos
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import collections
from Bio import SeqIO
Garc = pycircos.Garc
Gcircle = pycircos.Gcircle
arcList_size = []
arcList_name = []
circle = Gcircle(figsize=(8,8))
with open("BIM_data_general.txt") as f:
f.readline()
for line in f:
line = line.rstrip().split(",")
name = line[0]
length = int(line[-1])
arc = Garc(arc_id=name, size=length, interspace=2, raxis_range=(990,1000),
labelposition=50,facecolor="#FFFFFF",edgecolor="#FFFFFF",labelsize=15, label_visible=False)
arcList_size.append(arc.size)
arcList_name.append(arc.arc_id)
circle.add_garc(arc)
circle.set_garcs(0,360)
circle.draw_self_loop()
circle.figure
instead of this example , I get this distorted shape
Hi I am trying to extract data from a netCDF file, but the data is upside down. How can I reverse the database:
The data I want to extract is the height data from the (netcdf) at the points I have in the CSV file. my Data:
import numpy as np
from netCDF4 import Dataset
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
from matplotlib.patches import Path, PathPatch
csv_data = np.loadtxt('CSV with target coordinates',skiprows=1,delimiter=',')
num_el = csv_data[:,0]
lat = csv_data[:,1]
lon = csv_data[:,2]
value = csv_data[:,3]
data = Dataset("elevation Data",'r')
lon_range = data.variables['x_range'][:]
lat_range = data.variables['y_range'][:]
topo_range = data.variables['z_range'][:]
spacing = data.variables['spacing'][:]
dimension = data.variables['dimension'][:]
z = data.variables['z'][:]
lon_num = dimension[0]
lat_num = dimension[1]
etopo_lon = np.linspace(lon_range[0],lon_range[1],dimension[0])
etopo_lat = np.linspace(lat_range[0],lat_range[1],dimension[1])
topo = np.reshape(z, (lat_num, lon_num))
height = np.empty_like(num_el)
desired_lat_idx = np.empty_like(num_el)
desired_lon_idx = np.empty_like(num_el)
for i in range(len(num_el)):
tmp_lat = np.abs(etopo_lat - lat[i]).argmin()
tmp_lon = np.abs(etopo_lon - lon[i]).argmin()
desired_lat_idx[i] = tmp_lat
desired_lon_idx[i] = tmp_lon
height[i] = topo[tmp_lat,tmp_lon]
height[height<-10]=0
print(len(desired_lat_idx))
print(len(desired_lon_idx))
print(len(height))
dfl= pd.DataFrame({
'Latitude' : lat.reshape(-1),
'Longitude': lon.reshape(-1),
'Altitude': height.reshape(-1)
});
print(dfl)
# but the Lat should not be changed here (the dfl must be correct)
df =dfl
lat=np.array(df['Latitude'])
lon=np.array(df['Longitude'])
val=np.array(df['Altitude'])
m = basemap.Basemap(projection='robin', lon_0=0, lat_0=0, resolution='l',area_thresh=1000)
m.drawcoastlines(color = 'black')
x,y = m(lon,lat)
colormesh= m.contourf(x,y,val,100, tri=True, cmap = 'terrain')
plt.colorbar(location='bottom',pad=0.04,fraction=0.06)
plt.show()
I have already tried:
lat = csv_data[:,1]
lat= lat*(-1)
But this didn´t work
It's a plotting artifact().
Just do:
colormesh= m.contourf(x,y[::-1],val,100, tri=True, cmap = 'terrain')
y[::-1] will reverse the order of the y latitude elements (as opposed to the land-mass outlines; and while keeping the x longitude coordinates the same) and hence flip them.
I've often had this problem with plotting numpy image data in the past.
Your raw CSV data are unlikely to be flipped themselves (why would they be?). You should try sanity-checking them [I am not a domain expert I'm afraid]! Overlaying an actual coordinate grid can help with this.
Another way to do it is given here: Reverse Y-Axis in PyPlot
You could also therefore just do
ax = plt.gca()
ax.invert_yaxis()
In Short:
I want to change the color of blue marker in the graph. So that I can do comparison with other plots easily.
You can download the data files and script from this link
Problem Explanation
I have two data files, full.dat and part.dat(Note: part.dat is also there in full.dat).
I got the plotting scripts from the internet, and it is working very well. But as a noob in Python and Matplotlib, I am facing difficulties in changing the color of part.dat.
Please see the graph first, then the following scripts.

In script-2, there is an option to change the color, however I want to change the color of blue marker/solid-circles(please see the graph) so that I can compare with other graphs.
Whenever I change the color, it changes the line color only.
Please help me out I am trying to understand Matplotlib uses and examples from past few hrs However as a noob I was not able to figure out how to do.
I have defined a region of interest where I have tracked e.g. evaporation in time. Now i want to depict this region on a basemap plot by plotting only its boundaries. The region is defined as an (almost) global lat/lon array filled only with 1 at the Region's coordinates (like a land/sea mask, but for my specific region).
If people want to plot boundaries of a certain geometry they often refer to shapefiles (which i am unfamiliar with), but it seems an easy way to create a polygon and plot this polygon on a basemap. However, i cannot find info on creating a shapefile from an array similar to my 'Region array'.
What is your suggestion?
Thanks for the responses, i indeed solved it with making a polygon with the coordinates of the edge-gridcells of my region.

I am trying to plot a very big file (~5 GB) using python and matplotlib. I am able to load the whole file in memory (the total available in the machine is 16 GB) but when I plot it using simple imshow I get a segmentation fault. This is most probable to the ulimit which I have set to 15000 but I cannot set higher. I have come to the conclusion that I need to plot my array in batches and therefore made a simple code to do that. My main isue is that when I plot a batch of the big array the x coordinates start always from 0 and there is no way I can overlay the images to create a final big one. If you have any suggestion please let me know. Also I am not able to install new packages like "Image" on this machine due to administrative rights. Here is a sample of the code that reads the first 12 lines of my array and make 3 plots.

If you plot any array with more than ~2k pixels across something in your graphics chain will down sample the image in some way to display it on your monitor. I would recommend down sampling in a controlled way, something like
data = convert_raw_data_to_fft(args) # make sure data is row major
def ds_decimate(row,step = 100):
return row[::step]
def ds_sum(row,step):
return np.sum(row[:step*(len(row)//step)].reshape(-1,step),1)
# as per suggestion from tom10 in comments
def ds_max(row,step):
return np.max(row[:step*(len(row)//step)].reshape(-1,step),1)
data_plotable = [ds_sum(d) for d in data] # plug in which ever function you want
or interpolation.
Matplotlib is pretty memory-inefficient when plotting images. It creates several full-resolution intermediate arrays, which is probably why your program is crashing.
One solution is to downsample the image before feeding it into matplotlib, as #tcaswell suggests.
I also wrote some wrapper code to do this downsampling automatically, based on your screen resolution. It's at https://github.com/ChrisBeaumont/mpl-modest-image, if it's useful. It also has the advantage that the image is resampled on the fly, so you can still pan and zoom without sacrificing resolution where you need it.
I think you're just missing the extent=(left, right, bottom, top) keyword argument in plt.imshow.
x = np.random.randn(2, 10)
y = np.ones((4, 10))
x[0] = 0 # To make it clear which side is up, etc
y[0] = -1
plt.imshow(x, extent=(0, 10, 0, 2))
plt.imshow(y, extent=(0, 10, 2, 6))
# This is necessary, else the plot gets scaled and only shows the last array
plt.ylim(0, 6)
plt.colorbar()
plt.show()
