Coordinate -> Extent about modestmaps-js

[migurski]

Explain more?

Like, your map provider is given a coordinate per tile to provide. If you want to provide tiled html points, you could do something like a

points.filter(coord.toExtent().containsLocation())

to filter them. This might be unnecessary abstraction, though.

[migurski]

So it would be a replacement for getting the top-left and bottom-right locations of a tile coordinate? I think it makes sense, but would need to live in the projection object that understands how to map coordinates to locations and back.

So:

projection.coordinateExtent(coord)

?
