Re: zooming in on a map plot

Hi Nicole,
You can usually do this by setting mpLimitMode along with a few
complimentary resources. For instance:

res@mpLimitMode = "LatLon"
res@mpMinLonF = 130.
res@mpMaxLonF = 220.
res@mpCenterLonF = (res@mpMinLonF+res@mpMaxLonF)/2.
res@mpMinLatF = 20.
res@mpMaxLatF = 75.

See:

Hope that helps! Adam
