<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578399 by <a href="/recipes/users/4184598/">PG</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/layout/">layout</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/map/">map</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/plots/">plots</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/plotting/">plotting</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>Basemap is a toolkit of matplotlib used to plot geographic maps.</p> <p>With this function you can:</p> <ul> <li><p>Draw the latitude/longitude grid easily in one line of code, specifying the lat/lon intervals.</p></li> <li><p>Use rcParams, so all your figures will look more consistent.</p></li> <li><p>Specify the label pad <em>in points</em> (instead of projection units).</p></li> <li><p>Place the labels indicating which margins will be used.</p></li> </ul>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577431 by <a href="/recipes/users/4175415/">Glenn Hutchings</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/benford/">benford</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/matplotlib/">matplotlib</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/plotting/">plotting</a>). </p> <p>Here's a simple program to demonstrate <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford%27s_law">Benford's Law</a>, which also shows the simple power of <a href="http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net">matplotlib</a>. It reads from a bunch of files (or stdin, if none specified), extracts the leading digits of all number-like strings found, and plots the distribution in a window together with the expected result if Benford's law applies.</p>
