Yes.

Right, so isn't that telling me that since I *don't* want any interaction,
then I want a MarbleMap?? That's why I used a MarbleMap instead of a
MarbleWidget.

OK, that gets rid of those item (thanks very much), but I still end up with
the big grey area where they were. I think there's something I'm not
understanding about the way sizing works.

Here's what I have:
    map->setSize(1200, 600);
    map->setMapThemeId("earth/srtm/srtm.dgml");  // the atlas view
    map->setProjection(Equirectangular);

the resulting image has two problems I can't seem to resolve:

1. The big grey area above the map, which I want to remove
2. I see more than 360° of longitude

These both seem to be related to me not understanding sizing.

How do I automatically get the map to exactly fill the size I have set
(i.e., 180° of latitude fills the height and 360° of longitude fills the
width)?

I am impressed at how easy it was to get this far.
