Aha!<br>
That was it, problem fixed by setting mpFillOn to True.<br>
=)<br>
Thanks for your help, i think the mpFillOn = False, came from one of
the examples i copied from maps-only examples, which is fine for the
map on it's own, but not when annotating to another plot.<br>

I’m pretty sure that the problem relies in the difference between
xy plot object and map object. 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="">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? (<font
class="" face="Menlo">mpFillOn=True</font>) Is there a
particular reason why are you using False? <br class="">

I don't know why, but it's not working in my script, 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="">
