I went ahead and added a wmsimage anyway, and just let it pass **kwargs on to OWSLib.wms.WebMapService.getmap. The example was changed to use the new method. |

Might want to have a "batteries not included" message making it clear that the OWSLib is not automatically installed by basemap.

The wmsimage method will raise an exception if OWSLib cannot be imported, telling the user that OWSLib is required.

Hopefully this example will also work, where JPG is returned? Had to go through some gyrations to read the returned image without writing to disk, because PIL is being used |

I add the noaa openstreetmaps example to testwmsimage.py. It works for me without any gyrations. My guess is that your PIL is misbehaving. |
code from Rich Signell that shows how to retrieve an image from a WMS server and display it on a map. Uses OWSlib. This could be folded into a 'wmsimage' method, but there are so many possible options to pass to OWSlib.wms.WebMapService that this is probably best left to the the user.
