Thanks, Arnaud.

I've actually found that if I go into the plot editing tools in the MATLAB
figure window, it is possible to change the scale of the axes, which is
also a solution. Changing them to values of +/- .6 for bot the x and y
axes, it shows the whole head with no problem.

Do you know if there is a way to make this the default behavior in the
topoplotting function?
