data assets supporting the essential functionality.
This package depends optionally on basemap-data-hires with
the high-resolution data assets, which can be installed manually
with pip:

Known bugs
The Basemap.fillcontinents method doesn't always do the right thing.
Matplotlib always tries to fill the inside of a polygon. Under certain
situations, what is the inside of a coastline polygon can be ambiguous,
and the outside may be filled instead of the inside. A workaround is to
change the map projection region slightly or mask the land areas with
the Basemap.drawlsmask method instead of filling the coastline
polygons (this is illustrated in the ortho_demo.py example).
