[ka-Map-users] Scale to viewport

[Paul Spencer]

David,

zoomToExtents tries to find the best scale to fit the extents  
provided.  It will try to ensure that the extents are entirely  
visible.  It will only pick a scale that has been defined for the  
map.  If the greatest available scale does not accomodate the  
extents, it will use that scale anyway.  Is this the behaviour you  
are observing?  If yes, then try adding another scale above the  
largest one.  You could also take the maximum viewport size you  
expect and the maximum extents and try to calculate an appropriate  
maximum scale.

Cheers

Paul
