Migrate from Basemap to Cartopy #62

Closed ctjacobs closed 6 years ago

ctjacobs commented 6 years ago

The grey line tool relies on Basemap which will eventually be replaced by Cartopy (https://matplotlib.org/basemap/users/intro.html#cartopy-new-management-and-eol-announcement)

Need to confirm that all the Basemap features currently used by PyQSO are also available in Cartopy before migrating over.

Thanks to @term73 for making me aware of this.

I've started the migration process in the cartopy-greyline branch. All of the required functionality is present in Cartopy except for the day/night terminator (nightshade in Basemap) - see https://github.com/SciTools/cartopy/issues/1038. Currently the world map can be drawn along with the QTH points successfully labelled.

Addressed by #64.
