[gradsusr] Filling entire plot area issue..

[Stephen McMillan]

William,
You can "zoom in" by reducing the lat and lon ranges before you display the
variable.  Also, try using 'set mpvals...' (see
http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetmpvals.html) to specify which
areas you wanted included in the plot.
