AttributeError: 'Axes' object has no attribute 'get_axis_bgcolor'

[sebhahn]

Since matplotlib 2.2.0 the API has changed:

The Axes.get_axis_bgcolor, Axes.set_axis_bgcolor, Bbox.update_from_data, box.update_datalim_numerix, MaxNLocator.bin_boundaries methods have been removed.

and basemap throws the exception:

AttributeError: 'Axes' object has no attribute 'get_axis_bgcolor'

Is it possible to fix this easily?

I think it is already fixed; the only references to 'get_axis_bgcolor' that I find are protected by a check of the matplotlib version. What version of basemap are you using?

[sebhahn]

I'm using basemap 1.0.7, which comes with conda install basemap, but I just saw that conda forge holds version 1.1.0, I guess that's the one you refer to

[efiring]

Yes, that's the one to use.

@sebhahn note that in conda-forge we have separate packages for basemap and the bundle high resolution data. If you need both you can install them with:

conda install --channel conda-forge basemap basemap-data-hires

If you do not need the extra 100 MB of high resolution data you can just install basemap.

Thanks everybody!
