The problem is that the Linear2DSet only has length = 2 along the
Longitude axis, so the edges of this polygon span the entire span
from -180 to +180. Unfortunately, this is the criterion used by code
designed to avoid map segments (and polygons) that wrap all the way
around the earth because they cross the date line. You can fix it
by subdividing the segment into shorter segments, as in the attached
Junk.java (note length = 3 didn't work, so the criterion for long
lines or polygon edges must not be the entire 360 degree span).
This is pretty unavoidable, since the system needs to use some sort
of criterion to automatically detect and fix errant map segments
and polygons.

I see. I think the problem you originally described is because
the autoscaling includes these drag points and hence always
sizes the box to fit them (the drag points must lie outside
the bounds of your data). You can fix it by explicit calls to
ScalarMap.setRange() for your ScalarMaps to XAxis and YAxis.
Cheers,
Bill
