Hi,
I am running basemap version 1.3.4
Matplotlib 3.8
CentOS 7.8
Using conda.
Python 3.10.2
I got this error.
cs = m.contourf(x,y,pot,levels=clevs, alpha=1,cmap=plt.cm.RdBu_r)
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi, @qianwu2! Right now, the requirements file defines matplotlib >= 1.5, < 3.8; python_version >= "3.5", so matplotlib 3.8 falls outside the version range that is being tested.
In any case, I thank you for providing this feedback, because soon I will need to increase the upper pin for matplotlib to 3.9. I have not done it yet because I know that matplotlib 3.8 is bringing some changes that will break with basemap right now, so it is not only a matter of updating the requirements file.
I just tried the first (contour) and last (nightshade) examples from the docs with Matplotlib v3.8. The same line in those methods,
CS.collections,c = self._cliplimb(ax,CS.collections)falls over for me with AttributeError: property of 'QuadContourSet' object has no setter consistent with this stackoverflow question. Since the ContourSet is now itself a collection, I suspect you just need to pass CS itself to your _cliplimb method.
@rcomer Thanks a lot for pointing to the specific issue. I will try to address it as soon as possible, because the basemap release 1.4.0 should arrive soon, and updating the matplotlib pin to <3.9 is a must in my todo list for 1.4.0.
The fix proposed by @rcomer has been added to all the affected methods (contour, contourf and nightshade), and I have also added some simple tests to the test suite to ensure that now it is working.
Thanks for your help! I will close the issue now, you will be able to use matplotlib 3.8.x with the basemap release 1.4.0, which should take place in one or two days at maximum.
