## Known bugs
127+
128+
The `Basemap.fillcontinents` method doesn't always do the right thing.
129+
Matplotlib always tries to fill the inside of a polygon. Under certain
130+
situations, what is the inside of a coastline polygon can be ambiguous,
131+
and the outside may be filled instead of the inside. A workaround is to
132+
change the map projection region slightly or mask the land areas with
133+
the `Basemap.drawlsmask` method instead of filling the coastline
134+
polygons (this is illustrated in the `ortho_demo.py` example).
