Hello! Thanks for reaching out.
Without seeing your original code, I can't be totally sure why this isn't
working from you. It likely depends on how you are drawing the lines and
labels. The following code will generate the attached plot on Cartopy 0.20.2.
The version here is important, as some of the syntax for controlling line and
label location and formatting has changed, so be sure to update if you aren't
already!
import cartopy.crs as ccrs
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.ticker as mticker
# plt.subplots useful for quickly creating both an axes
# and containing figure, with keywords specified up-front
f, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 8), subplot_kw={"projection":
ccrs.Robinson()})
ax.coastlines()
gl = ax.gridlines(draw_labels=True)
gl.xlines = False
gl.ylocator = mticker.FixedLocator(
[-80, -70, -60, -50, -40, -30, -20, -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70,
80]
)
gl.top_labels = False
gl.bottom_labels = False
f.savefig("test.png") # tested on 300 dpi too
Importantly, creating the `gridlines` object with labels drawn will give you
more control over gridline location and labelling. Your issue with figure
drawing may depend on default font/line sizes and a figure that is too small
such that labels get overridden. You'll see in this example that I specified a
figure size. Give this a try yourself and let me know if that fixes your figure
drawing issue! If not, please be sure to follow up and attach your full code
and the associated output. Hope this helps.
All the best,
Drew
