Thanks for reading my mail. In basemap toolkit of matplotlib, I found the Coastline data used is from the GSHHS (http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/wessel/gshhs/gshhs.html).But I found it barely satisfying to use. (For that I am from China,but the 2 most prominent rivers,Yangtze river and Yellow river are not shown ,and another less important river is shown) So,here I am asking if there is how I can replace this GSHHS coasline data with my data?How is GSHHS data formatted?So I'd probably work some way out to make or find another set of data with the same format. Thanks again for reading . -- View this message in context: http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/Problem-on-Basemap-gshhs-data-and-the-associated-is-land-function-tp45761.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Are you specifying a sufficiently high resolution and using the drawrivers() method? I think that trying to put your own data into a form to be used as a direct substitute for the built-in data would be very difficult, but you can always plot things directly on the map. Eric
Thanks for your reply,your answer is quite useful,drawriver function is easy to use and it works. -- View this message in context: http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/Problem-on-Basemap-default-coastline-data-tp45761p45808.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
