Customise the size of the drawing area

The exercise given in the Legend section above has a hidden feature related to value 27.4 associated to parameter Legend X Box Position, Icon  legmap. This value was carefully chosen to allow the legend box to cover completely the latitude labels on the right hand side of the map. Change this value to 27, for instance, and  check the result. One possible solution to avoid this issue is to reduce the width of the mapping area; thus, giving more space to the legend box.

Redo the exercise by reducing the width of the mapping area.
