No possibility to `resize` a GridMap ? about grid_map HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @artivis, thanks for sharing! I agree, a resizing method which is easier to use then extendToInclude could be implemented. Internally, the extendToInclude could call this resizing method. How would you like to use the resize method? Would you give it a new size and and leave the position the same, or something else?

I am not familiar enough with the internal of grid_map_core to fully grasp the difficulty of implementing such new feature. But IMHO such resizing method would allows the user for either appending new cells on either side of the GridMap or both sides - e.g. increasing width lead to appending new cells both on the 'left' and 'right' of the GridMap and similarly for increasing the height. Increasing the full size would be something like 're-centering' the existing data on a larger grid. The desired behavior could be defined with an input argument such as an enum.

Is there any update on this? Could be useful for my use-case too. An incremental resize without clearing all data sounds like a good thing to do. I personally won't need to reposition the map.

Add a resize method is a good idea! It's better to set both size and position when resize (move and resize at the same time). More over, is it possible to set the initial value of the new cells? Thank you!
