Hello, I've defined the following function to dynamically define map extents based on lon,lat input data. It is not very elegant or robust, but it does seem to work. One issue, however, and it probably is related to something else further down the chain... but every plot ends up being a different size. So an improvement right off would be able to define a plot size (or at least ratio, such that the limits would scale to the ratio). I would be interested in comments on how to improve it.
