from plotting_tools import MOLLVIEW_FIGSIZE
from matplotlib import pyplot
import healpy as hp 

FILENAME = 'map.fits'
m = hp.read_map(FILENAME) 
moll = Mollview()
figure = pyplot.figure(figsize=MOLLVIEW_FIGSIZE) 
moll(m, vmin=0, vmax=1)
moll.add_grid() 
moll.add_colorbar()
moll.add_contour(contour_map, levels=[0,1,2])

Nicer Mollweide projections (With cartopy -- don't use)

mollweide.mollweide

contains two functions for plotting nice "mollweide" projections and "gnomonic" projections with the functions

mollweide.plot_mollweide 
mollweide.plot_gnomview 

Install

Make sure your environment has the required packages (reproject and cartopy) by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt 

move the mollweide.py script to your working directory or run the setup.py script as:
