Description
Hi,
Is somebody working or intending to write a patch that could deal with those scale frame (black and white marks) on latitude and longitude maps?
I wish to see this feature for a long time. I tried to start something but with no directions on which plot element it should be based... So I failed.
Maybe `gridspec` is the clue for this? Or the `axis` could be tweakable on tick position and thickness of line to achieve this?
In `R` I have found this [code](http://menugget.blogspot.com.br/2012/04/add-frame-to-map.html) that fix this issue by ploting polygons. Should be our clue in matplotlib too?
Cheers,
Arnaldo.
