ValueError: 'vertices' must be a 2D list or array with shape Nx2

I'm using Python 3.8.5
Matplotlib version 3.1.2
and basemap-1.2.2+dev

I'm running something like:


    llon = lons.min()
    llat = lats.min()
    ulon = lons.max()
    ulat = lats.max()

    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    
    m = Basemap(llcrnrlon=llon, llcrnrlat=llat, urcrnrlon=ulon,
                urcrnrlat=ulat, resolution='h')

    m.drawcoastlines(linewidth=0.8)
    m.drawcountries(linewidth=0.8)
    m.drawstates(linewidth=0.8)

and then I got this:

File "plt_RAIN.py", line 62, in
m.drawcoastlines(linewidth=0.8)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/mpl_toolkits/basemap/init.py", line 1859, in drawcoastlines
coastlines = LineCollection(self.coastsegs,antialiaseds=(antialiased,))
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/collections.py", line 1333, in init
self.set_segments(segments)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/collections.py", line 1348, in set_segments
self._paths = [mpath.Path(_seg) for _seg in _segments]
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/collections.py", line 1348, in
self._paths = [mpath.Path(_seg) for _seg in _segments]
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/path.py", line 129, in init
raise ValueError(
ValueError: 'vertices' must be a 2D list or array with shape Nx2

I checked everything, but I'm used to run this on basemap 1.0.7 and everything was ok.
And when I run without m.drawcoastlines(), there is no problem.

What can I do to run it?

I have a similar problem. I think this might be because your domain does not intersect any coastlines? I have this reproducer:

# fails 
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
b = Basemap(projection="cea", llcrnrlon=267.5, urcrnrlon=283.995, llcrnrlat=41.35, urcrnrlat=51, resolution="l") 
b.drawcoastlines()
plt.show()

Note: The above fails in basemap 1.2.1 (matplotlib 3.5.1) and works in basemap 1.1.0 (matplotlib 2.1.1), regression somewhere...

But if I extend a bit to have an intersection with the ocean coastlines (in this case to the Hudson Bay) it works

# works 
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
b = Basemap(projection="cea", llcrnrlon=267.5, urcrnrlon=283.995, llcrnrlat=41.35, urcrnrlat=51.8, resolution="l") 
b.drawcoastlines()
plt.show()

@jswhit I know we are not supposed to bug you with this project, but maybe you have a workaround for this...

This is most likely due to a change I made to address a problem with an update in proj4. IIRC, the projection parameters were getting cast to float32, thereby reducing the accuracy of the projection. Most likely, I removed the casting, so maybe an integer passing though is causing issues?

@guziy With the latest basemap I am not able to reproduce it. If I type your first snippet in IPython, I get this:

(py38) vic@onyx:~$ python -m IPython --pylab=Tk
Python 3.8.12 (default, Jan  3 2022, 10:33:21)
Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information
IPython 7.30.1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Type '?' for help.

In [1]: from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
   ...: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
   ...: b = Basemap(projection="cea",
   ...:             llcrnrlon=267.5, urcrnrlon=283.995,
   ...:             llcrnrlat=41.35, urcrnrlat=51, resolution="l")
   ...: b.drawcoastlines()
   ...: plt.show()

In [2]: from mpl_toolkits import basemap

In [3]: basemap.__version__
Out[3]: '1.3.2'

For this example I am using the basemap wheel in PyPI, which bundles a relatively old GEOS library (3.5.1). Could it be that your basemap installation uses the GEOS from your system, which is probably newer, and the new GEOS does not get on well with the current implementation?

@molinav

@molinav Could you please try to create the following conda environment:

conda create -n py39 python=3.9 basemap ipython
conda activate py39

Here are the versions

conda list 'matplotlib|basemap|geos'
#

Merge pull request #538 from guziy/fix-drawcoastlines

@guziy

@guziy The basemap conda package needs an update at some point, but I haven't still had time to learn a bit on how to refactor the basemap conda recipe appropriately after my split of basemap into three parts.

From other issue (#522 (comment)) it seems that we are blocked at the moment to GEOS < 3.9.

@flaviodoliveira

I don't know about conda recipies, but willing to learn, are they in this repo?
@flaviodoliveira could you please check if the latest develop branch fixes the issue for you as well?

The conda recipe is available in a separate repo:
https://github.com/conda-forge/basemap-feedstock

There were a couple of external attempts to update the recipe but they did not succeed or were closed before finishing:
conda-forge/basemap-feedstock#92
conda-forge/basemap-feedstock#93

Unfortunately, I could not still find time to learn about conda recipes to provide my own update there.

@guziy

@guziy This issue and your fix were included in basemap 1.3.3. Since April, a bit of development on the conda-forge side has been ongoing, and we now have up-to-date basemap packages in conda-forge as well as in PyPI.

The latest basemap release (1.3.5) has been deployed to PyPI and conda-forge today, it also includes this bugfix of course, and it solves the problem about linking with newer GEOS versions (#522). So I think we can safely close this issue!
