to this colored map
in just one line of code? Simply use cartopy’s stock_img()
:
ax.stock_img()
Complete example code
import cartopy.crs as ccrs import cartopy.feature as cf from matplotlib import pyplot as plt ax = plt.axes(projection = ccrs.Mollweide()) ax.stock_img() ax.add_feature(cf.COASTLINE) ax.add_feature(cf.BORDERS) # Make figure larger plt.gcf().set_size_inches(20, 10) # Save figure as SVG plt.savefig("Cartopy-Colored.svg")
