Control the size of worldmap

Hello,

I have a GUI that produces a world map based on the user inputted latitude, longitude and number of cells. The map appears inside the GUI. My issues is that the map is a different size each time depending on the area it is displaying. I would like to set a limit for the map so that it always fits inside my GUI. I looked at the properties for axesm but didn't see what I was looking for.

Anybody know how I do this?

Thanks

You may be able to use set(gca,'position',[lowerleftx lowerlefy width height]).

I think that is one piece of what I need to do. The map is different sizes depending on the area I'm displaying. While a position array works well for one map, it doesn't for the next one. I want to make it relative to the GUI figure, so that no matter what (even if user shrinks or expands figure) the map displays properly.

'OuterPosition' may be the better property to use. It seems to work better. Doesn't behave exactly how I want but closer
