Add a border around the maps, when using Robinson projection #154

Open jypeter opened 4 years ago

jypeter commented 4 years ago

I have successfully used the Robinson projection, by specifying proj='Robinson', but there is no border around the plots.

I guess we can live without displaying some latitude and longitude tickmarks when using Robinson, but it would look much nicer to have a border when there is a lot of white on the maps (e.g. anomaly plots with small values) and the maps are displayed on a white background

See some whitish plots on Atmosphere surface for several midHolocene experiments

According to Ncl doc at http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/mp.shtml#mpGridAndLimbOn , you should call plot with options="mpGridAndLimbOn=True" But Ncl doc syas that this is the default value

Otherwise, you could use a light grey for low field values, instead of the background color :-)
