Here is what Adamant wrote in the forum:
> I miss a Way to change Geometry of existing Maps. The Designer can select Origin resp for Definition of Change he can select Row/Col R1,R2,C1,C2 as Section to remove from Map and thus the new Map gets cut from loaded Map. The reverse Way is useful or even more than the Cut-Feature and would help to extend existing Maps eg if intended to make it more quadratic (that's Favour of most Map-Designer visible by Avg of existing Maps and therefore a Change is surely more likely to go more quadratic than more linear).
> If the Geometry should eg from 32X32 get enlarged to 64x96 the Designer need just to specify a Point inside the Map where the Map get spliced vertical/horizontal and Rows/Cols get added.
He wants the size of the map not to be fixed, but the mapmaker should be able to change the size of the map without having to remake the whole map (after he started the map, having already a landscape on it). While I think this is basically a good idea (if I realize the map is too large/small), it might be difficult to implement.
