Also, the file you linked to from the Stackoverflow question is just
72kB (and 84kB when uncompressed with pdftk) so it's definitely not
going over any multi-gigabyte limit.
I can confirm that Adobe Reader 8 on OS X fails to show anything when
opening the file, and also does not display any error messages.
Preview.app displays a reasonable-looking plot. I'm at a loss to explain
what is wrong about this file.

Since what gets plotted is not a huge amount of data, I wonder if you
could still make a minimal example by doing the computations but instead
of plotting the resulting data storing it somehow (in e.g. a pickle, or
a small hdf5 file). Then make a separate script that reads the stored
data and calls matplotlib functions, and if that can reproduce the
problem it would help us in debugging.

I'm very pleased to announce Andrew Dawson as a new core developer on the
cartopy project. As well as making significant contributions to many of the
fundamental components of cartopy, he has taken the time to extend
documentation, review other PRs and help users with issues raised on
github. Of particular note is Andrew's work on the reprojecting,
resampling, and visualisation of vector quantities which is providing a
step change in current cartopy capabilities
http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/pelson/7772265 and will inevitably feed
through into richer and more diverse scientific analyses for many
scientists.
Welcome aboard Andrew!
