Great!  Though I think it'd have taken me a while to figure that one out!

Thanks,   Jody

Hi,

I've been attempting to get basemap to clip a contourf display.  I have not
had any luck!  Attached is a self contained example.  Could somebody kindly
point out what I am doing wrong!?!

If I remove the zorder settings, I get no data plotted!

The goal is to clip my contourf plots by political boundaries.  I am
using a simple rectangle at the moment for illustration.

thanks,
  daryl

Try:

cb = colorbar()
cb.solids.set_rasterized(True)

Incidentally, the lines in the pdf are an artifact of most pdf viewers, 
not a bug in the pdf file.  It is possible that there is some way to 
construct the pdf files such that this does not happen, without 
introducing other artifacts, but we have never found one.
