I appreciate the time you guys took to explain and give me some
suggestions. I tried your methods and they work, but they do not
reflect what I want to show. Scaling is kinda tricky. So what I am
doing is to calculate from a giving lat, lon and the radius (in this
case the storm). I am calculating its exact size. It has been a good
challenge. I will like to make it into a function but I am not sure
how to do it. If you guys are familiar with Matlab there is a function
with similar function is called the scircle1. However I based my
calculations from an in-house function here at Rutgers done by John
Kerfoot that calculates the outerside position given a lat lon and
radii.

Again I appreciate the help and if you have any suggestion on how to
write it into a function will be great.
