Labelling grid lines on a Lamber
Labelling grid lines on a Lambert Conformal projection
In response to the StackOverflow question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27962953/cartopy-axis-label-workaround.
Notes:
- The map boundary must be rectangular, otherwise the detection of which axis to label will be broken.
- Requires cartopy >= 0.12

Draw a set of axes with coastlines:
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(9, 9), frameon=True)
ax = fig.add_axes([0.08, 0.05, 0.8, 0.94], projection=proj)
ax.set_extent([-5, 31, 42, 55], crs=ccrs.PlateCarree())
ax.coastlines(resolution='50m')
must call draw in order to get the axis boundary used to add ticks:
fig.canvas.draw()
Define gridline locations and draw the lines using cartopy's built-in gridliner:
xticks = [-110, -50, -40, -30, -20, -11, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
yticks = [10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80]
ax.gridlines(xlocs=xticks, ylocs=yticks)
Label the end-points of the gridlines using the custom tick makers:
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(LONGITUDE_FORMATTER)
ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(LATITUDE_FORMATTER)
lambert_xticks(ax, xticks)
lambert_yticks(ax, yticks)
