Update get_axis_bgcolor

[davidcortesortuno]

When importing Basemap, I get the following Warning:

/home/XXX/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/basemap/__init__.py:1767:
MatplotlibDeprecationWarning: The get_axis_bgcolor function was deprecated in version 2.0.
Use get_facecolor instead.
  axisbgc = ax.get_axis_bgcolor()
<matplotlib.text.Text at 0x7f1427109128>

So I guess the function in __init__.py should be updated for being compatible with the newest Matplotlib

It should already do that see https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/blob/master/lib/mpl_toolkits/basemap/__init__.py#L1753

But that is not in the latest release of basemap which is fairly old. How did you install basemap?

[davidcortesortuno]

Oh I didn't notice it in the code. I installed it using conda, maybe I just should install using pip git+...
I will close this then

No problem, I think the plan is to have a new basemap release soon #293 to fix this
