Plotting on map projections

This section describes how to plot on the map projections and how to draw a day/night terminator.

How to add simple points and lines to our plots

We can see, from the preceding map, that we have Europe in the middle. We will plot some data points and some curves with lines all over Europe. We will begin by putting down a cross or a point. So the latitude and longitude of Heidelberg is 8.7 degrees east and 49.5 degrees north.

We will start with the scatter method. So the scatter behaves just like we are used to it behaving from the standard Cartesian Euclidean projections. Input the code as follows:

# Projecting with and without latlon
m = Basemap(width=1.2e7,height=9e6,projection='lcc&apos...
