Why does the size of the map change when I change the

Why does the size of the map change when I change the FLatLimit property of the map axes in Mapping Toolbox 2.7.2 (R2009a)?

I am plotting a map in azimuthal projection and I am changing the FLatLimit from [-Inf 30](minimum latitude of 60) to [-Inf 40](minimum latitude of 50N ). I have noticed that the second plot is of a smaller size. When a minimum latitude of 60N is used, the plots (the figure area covered by the circle) are big. When a minimum latitude of 50N is used, the plot gets smaller. I would like the plot size - the circle in the figure showing the data - to remain constant regardless of the minimum latitude I choose for the north polar stereographic plot.

load topo;

[meshlat,meshlon] = meshgrat(topo,topolegend,[90 180]);

% plot the first map with FLatLimit=[-Inf 30]

subplot(2,1,1)

axesm('MapProjection','ortho', 'Origin',[90 0 0], ...

      'FLatLimit',[-Inf 30]);

title(sprintf('FLatLimit [-Inf 30]'));

axis off;

surfm(meshlat,meshlon,topo);

demcmap(topo);

hold off
