If the pad isn't big enough, expand it automatically?

Sounds good to me. Any concerns with @MaceKuailv's proposal?

Which issue are you referring to with "plot.horizontal_section"? Why can't the cartopy pin be responsible for the recent test failure?

@MaceKuailv you have code in the works that will resolve this?

> Thanks @MaceKuailv for catching this up! you are correct and this should be an easy fix! Will work on this over the weekend @Mikejmnez Can you make the easy...

It works for me on SciServer:

Try to make a minimum working example that replicates the error. Once that's done, consult @Mikejmnez and @malmans2 on details (and me on strategy, if needed).

@MaceKuailv, I run your code snippet on SciServer with a fresh Oceanography console and get no AttributeError.

@Mikejmnez This sounds great to me! When it's done, I'll implement it in the Poseidon-viewer notebooks.

Thanks @Mikejmnez ! I agree with your analysis. It's interesting. Can we trap the condition in `cutout` and give an informative error message?
