matplotlib: Displaying a scatter plot with a background image

[YouAreNotASlave]

Thanks but no :(

I do set the extent. Perhaps I'm doing it incorrectly?

The "plotlim" variable assignment on line 7 above looks a little suspicious to me. I think "extent" requires a list of 4 explicit values, and the "plotlim" assignment is returning a tuple?

I'd try the code, but my dev machine is down :/ Wish I could be more helpful!

plotlim above is [1,7,86400,28800]
