Hi Sean,

Thanks for this.

Sort of!  Most of the "problems" stem from saving the plot out to a png,
but it seems one can get around this by specifying "height" as an
appropriate direct multiple of the matrix rows, and letting "width" sort
itself out.

Probably a fairly esoteric query, but is there a way of controlling the
aspect ratio of the cells that make up the map, i.e. do they HAVE to be
rectangles?

Cheers and thanks,

a
