Political BoundariesΒΆ
The borders
argument of pygmt.Figure.coast
specifies levels of political
boundaries to plot and the pen used to draw them. Choose from the list of boundaries
below:
- 1 = National boundaries
- 2 = State boundaries within the Americas
- 3 = Marine boundaries
- a = All boundaries (1-3)
For example, to draw national boundaries with 1p thickness black lines use
borders="1/1p,black"
. You can draw multiple boundaries by passing in a list to
borders
.

# Make a Sinusoidal projection map of the Americas with automatic ticks
fig.basemap(region=[-150, -30, -60, 60], projection="I-90/8i", frame="afg")
# Plot each level of the boundaries dataset with a different color.
fig.coast(borders=["1/0.5p,black", "2/0.5p,red", "3/0.5p,blue"], land="gray")
