That is very close to what I'm looking for! I'd like to be able to control the closeness of the zoom by drawing a circle of radius r, zooming to it, then removing the circle and printing a map. In 'interactive' mode, drawing a circle with r=0.75, selecting the circle and then zooming 'to selected' gives a certain zoom. Going to a circle with r=0.5 gives a closer zoom, r=0.25 is closer still. Really, I'm trying to work around the fact that the .zoomIn and .zoomOut methods have very large steps in their zoom. More thoughts?
