The function that I gave you tries to fill the space between lines with the specified color. However, when map object is passed to the function, it is not able to find the lines so that it doesn’t fill the space between…but that’s just my guess.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Unfortunately now I can’t see your original plot attached, but have you tried playing around with the map resources so that land/ocean area are filled with color?

Thanks Guido,<br class="">
I don't know why, but it's not working in my script, the map is
still transparent.<br class="">
Modified script is attached.<br class="">

Hi Jatin,
<div class="">did you try creating a new function that fill the

<div class="">Hi,<br class="">
I am annotating a map on top of a contour plot. However,
the map is being plotted as transparent rather than with
white background.<br class="">
See attached, any suggestions on how to fix this? I've
tried a couple of things, none have worked so far.<br class="">
Cheers,<br class="">
