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>

Revision 3. </p> <p>When plotting maps with either 'npstere' or 'spstere' projections with the Basemap toolkit for Matplotlib, the pole will always be placed in the center of the figure. With this function you can zoom the map to the area of interest by giving the latitude/longitudes coordinates of the bounds.</p>

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>
