Hi Patrick-

The only way to do this would be to repeat the first coordinate.
Otherwise, there is no relation between the first and last points
so there is no data displayed beyond the last point.

> The longitude coordinates appears in the netCDF file as:
> float lon(lon) ;
> lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
> lon:long_name = "Longitude" ;
> lon = -180, -176.25, -172.5, -168.75, -165, -161.25, -157.5, -153.75, -150,
> -146.25, -142.5, -138.75, -135, -131.25, -127.5, -123.75, -120, -116.25,
> -112.5, -108.75, -105, -101.25, -97.5, -93.75, -90, -86.25, -82.5,
> -78.75, -75, -71.25, -67.5, -63.75, -60, -56.25, -52.5, -48.75, -45,
> -41.25, -37.5, -33.75, -30, -26.25, -22.5, -18.75, -15, -11.25, -7.5,
> -3.75, 0, 3.75, 7.5, 11.25, 15, 18.75, 22.5, 26.25, 30, 33.75, 37.5,
