GetMaxNorm error when available vector data area is 'smaller' than vector graphics method?

[jypeter]

@doutriaux1 I get an error when plotting vectors and datawc_x2-datawc_x1 is bigger than the longitude range of the variable I'm plotting. Maybe this is just due to the fact that I'm trying to make a plot of an area that is 360+180 degrees large

I know, I test weird stuff :(

The error

This works!
Ready for next?
This also works!
Ready for next?
This FAILS...

vect_gm = x.createvector()

vect_gm_large = x.createvector()
vect_gm_large.datawc_x1 = -180

print 'This works!'
x.plot(vect_gm, uwnd[::5, ::5], vwnd[::5, ::5])

@danlipsa ping.

[doutriaux1]

@danlipsa @jypeter is that still true?

@doutriaux1 I have just tried this in 2.12, and I get another (but similar) error. Before it broke on maxNorm = vectors.GetMaxNorm(), and now it breaks on vectors.GetRange(self._vectorRange, -1)
