No, I just did a contourf of the model's 'land' field.

Thanks for that, Jordan.  Nice job.  I'm curious, did you use basemap for the maps?

Hi, I just wanted to thank the devs for all the work they've done.  I 
just got my second journal article published, and all the figures were 
generated using matplotlib.  I put a note in the acknowledgements to 
that effect, for some cheap advertising.

Here's a link to the pdf if you're interested, but you (or your U) needs 
a Geophysical Research Letters subscription to access it.

Thanks again.

Oops, no idea this was already implemented.
I recalled discussion about the topic from way back I guess.
I'll give it a shot.
To get back to the real topic: it would indeed be even nicer if we didn't
have to convert to rgba.
