I am having a bit of trouble figuring out the extent I should use to display the entire northern hemisphere using the Polar Stereographic projection. The best that i have been able to come up with is:

EXTENT 3000 2000 4000000 3000000

but this only displays the right half of the norther hemisphere, how can i display the full 360 degrees of the northern hemisphere all at one time? When using a polar projection i am not sure what the extent numbers actually represent. They cant be corner points because the display should be a circle, so what are they offsets from? Any clarity that someone can provide on how to use polar projection would be very helpful. Thanks.

PROJECTION     "proj=stere"
       "lat_ts=75"
       "north"
       "lat_0=90"

We've been successful with

-9036842.762, -9036842.762, 9036842.762, 9036842.762

when i try this extent i get a white circle that takes up most of the screen and i can only see a very small piece of my data in a half moon shape on the right edge of my window. Is anyone able to explain what the extent numbers actually mean when using a polar projection? Why am i getting a large white circle with my data wrapped around, and how do i decrees the size of this central circle to zero so my pole comes together to a single point?
