Dear Mitchell,
Can you use the 'sinu' projection in basemap? E.g. 
basemap/examples/contour_demo.py figure 1.

Hello,
I have been trying to modify the custom projection example 
(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/custom_projection_example.html) 
to plot a Sanson Flamsteed Projection (Sinusoidal projection).
Such a projection is defined as:
long0=0
x = (long-long0)*cos(lat)
y=lat
The problem is how to correctly handle the:
* _gen_axes_patch
* _gen_axes_spines
As the resultant plot area/plot boundaries is not circular/elliptical 
like the examples provided.
Does anyone, who has played with this projections, or has better 
understanding of matplotlib provide me with a way to handle this?
Regards
Mitchell
