<div dir="ltr">Hi there,<div><br></div><div>I am plotting radar data and overlaying highways onto the map. I first plot the radar analysis, then overlay the highway information by reading/plotting the shapefile.</div><div><br></div><div>At times, when I view the PNGs, the highways show up as blotched out (lack of detail and pixelated; see attached image). At other times, the highways show up very clear and darker as expected. Is there a reason for this?
