Needs to be -JM? I think, since there is margins

The point is the **coast** command cannot know the needed size of the actual plot area given the region etc. So you do `gmt coast -R65.9/66.7/25.1/25.9 -JM? -Dfull -Gorange -W0.5`...

Certainly too confusing after a beer in some random hotel lobby.

When I run as I suggest with -JM? it works fine, just as intended: ``` gmt begin inseto png gmt coast -Rd -JN0.0/14c -Baf -BWSen -Ggray -W0.5 -Da gmt inset...

Well, your desired region and projection yields a rectangle that you then try to fit in a 1.4c square box. So scale is adjusted so it fits inside that limit....

I think you will have to set the +w to +w1.4/1.5426... But perhaps we need to check what is going on and possibly improve this to allow +w1.4/0 ?

I learned that you can specify the **-R -J** with _inset_ and not set **+w**: ``` gmt begin inseto png gmt coast -Rd -JN0.0/14c -Baf -BWSen -Ggray -W0.5 -Da gmt...

Then it computes the right box needed.

And clearly, we cannot have +w1.4/0 before there even is a -R -J later as in the original script.

Well, I am leaning more towards a bug. The inset sets a square 1.4c box. Then coast runs with the given -R -J and it learns it has to adjust...
