Standalone map with map

Question

I am trying to find if it is possible to set a background set (like a 2D map) for a heat map? Read the data from the file and print a heat map (which is pretty simple). But in offline mode, do we have a heat map superimposed on a real map?

Any helpful suggestion appreciated.

Answer 1

You are using a heatmap as the background for a geographic map (which I think you are asking about) using basemap and imshow .

from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np m = Basemap(width=12000000,height=9000000,projection='lcc', resolution='c',lat_1=45.,lat_2=55,lat_0=50,lon_0=-107.) m.drawcoastlines(linewidth=0.25) data = 100*np.random.rand(10,10) m.imshow(data, interpolation = 'none') plt.show()
