Change basemap docs to use the plot directive.

[pelson]

I have changed the documentation building to use the plot directive & avoid the need for a make.py to build the figures in advance. My motivation for this was to be able to build the documentation without the need of ipython (which I do not have installed).

I am concerned about the change to lib/mpl_toolkits/basemap/shapefile.py. I was unable to revert the seemingly automatic change using git checkout -- lib/mpl_toolkits/basemap/shapefile.py and would like to be reassured that I have not done anything wrong before any merge should go through.

Many Thanks,

Phil: Thanks, this is something that definitely needs to be done. I don't think the changes to the two examples and shapefile.py are related though - so they should be reverted.

Hi Jeff, I have been trying to figure out what's going on with that file. I haven't touched it, and have reverted back to the master on several occasions, but git is still complaining... I have just noticed that when I commit I get a message:

warning: CRLF will be replaced by LF in lib/mpl_toolkits/basemap/shapefile.py

This is related to the line endings in said file.
Do you run git on windows? What is the output of:

git config core.autocrlf

Ideally, you should allow git to convert your line endings in a standard way. This can be enabled with:

git config core.autocrlf True
