Add auto option for interpolate_target_resolution to adapt to plot domain #103
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When plotting with contour(f), complex grids (reduced Gaussian, ocathedral, HEALPix) are currently interpolated to a fixed resolution of 0.1° (configurable via the interpolate_target_resolution schema key).
This works well for small domains, but is inefficient for global or large-scale plots where we do not gain any visual benefit from being at such a high resolution.
Describe the solution you'd like
Introduce a new option:
interpolate_target_resolution = "auto"- When enabled, the interpolation should automatically select a target resolution based on the domain extent.
- The behavior could mirror the way coastline resolution is chosen dynamically.
The benefits of this would be:
- Faster plotting for large/global datasets.
- Less manual tuning required by users.
