[Cartoweb-users] external link to a given extent

[Oliver Christen]

use filters parameters in the url:
http://www.cartoweb.org/doc_head/docbook/xhtml/dev.newplugin.html#dev.newplugin.special.filters
for example, ?recenter_bbox=xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax will automaticaly recenter 
on the given bbox

.../cartoweb3/htdocs/demoPlugins.php?recenter_bbox=257274,5106766,373341,5180484
