Parameters

scale – The dataset scale. One of ‘auto’, ‘coarse’, ‘low’, ‘intermediate’, ‘high, or ‘full’ (default is ‘auto’).
levels – A list of integers 1-6 corresponding to the desired GSHHS feature levels to draw (default is [1] which corresponds to coastlines).
**kwargs – Keyword arguments to be used when drawing the feature. Defaults are edgecolor=’black’ and facecolor=’none’.
