Summary: Plot on map projections (with coastlines and political boundaries)

Description: 

The matplotlib basemap toolkit is a library for plotting 2D data on maps
in Python. It is similar in functionality to the matlab mapping toolbox,
the IDL mapping facilities, GrADS, or the Generic Mapping Tools. PyNGL
and CDAT are other libraries that provide similar capabilities in
Python.

Basemap does not do any plotting on it's own, but provides the
facilities to transform coordinates to one of 25 different map
projections (using the PROJ.4 C library). Matplotlib is then used to
plot contours, images, vectors, lines or points in the transformed
coordinates. Shoreline, river and political boundary datasets (from
Generic Mapping Tools) are provided, along with methods for plotting
them. The GEOS library is used internally to clip the coastline and
polticial boundary features to the desired map projection region.
