Modifying the boundary/neatline of a map in cartopy
---------------------------------------------------

This example demonstrates how to modify the boundary/neatline
of an axes. We construct a star with coordinates in a Plate Carree
coordinate system, and use the star as the outline of the map.

Notice how changing the projection of the map represents a *projected*
star shaped boundary.
