Problem Plotting Symbols on a Map? [message #4582]

I am having trouble drawing filled circles on a map in IDL 4.0.
Here is an example.

IDL> map_set, /CYLINDRICAL, /GRID, /CONTINENTS
IDL> a = 2*findgen(1+long(180))/!radeg
IDL> xx=180+10*cos(a)
IDL> yy=10*sin(a)
IDL> plots,xx,yy,/data
IDL> polyfill, xx, yy, /DATA

This should fill the circle which wraps around to the other side
of the map but it is doing the opposite. I think I know why it
happens but has anybody found a way to solve it?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
