Plotting a Map without any Axes
===============================

This examples shows you how to plot a Map without any annotations at all, i.e.
to save as an image.

# We can setup a frameless figure and an axes which spans the whole canvas.

# Plot the map. Since are not interested in the exact map coordinates, we can
# simply use :meth:`~matplotlib.Axes.imshow`.

# At this point you could save the figure with ``plt.savefig()`` or show it:

plt.show()
