  Description     : A library providing cartographic tools for python.

Some of the key features of cartopy are:

object oriented projection definitions
point, line, polygon and image transformations between projections
integration to expose advanced mapping in matplotlib with a simple and
intuitive interface
work-in-progress mechanisms for accessing specialist data such as those
from the "Shuttle Radar Topography Mission” (SRTM) and the "Global
Self-consistent, Hierarchical, High-resolution Shoreline” database (GSHHS).
