Export SVG Error when trying to offset bounding box

[glenpike]

If I try to export to SVG (400 x 399) and change the bounding area to the following coordinates:

-179,-85.0511,181,85.0511

I get the following error:

Error: Number is greater then the required maximum value (bbox)

It seems if I enter values >180 degrees (right-hand-side) or <-180 (left-hand-side) for the bounding box, I get a max / min error.

I would like to be able to offset my map view, which does not seem like an unreasonable thing.

Version 0.10.1 (v0.10.1)

For a finer level of control over SVG I recommend exporting the Mapnik XML for your project and scripting SVG creation with Mapnik directly.

Thanks, sorry haven't managed to look into the Mapnik XML method. Feel free to close if you think it's not relevant.
