Feature request: Plot the size of extended sources in skymaps #190

Plotting the size of extended sources will make the life easier when studying crowded regions (e.g. Galactic plane). For disk and Gaussian sources the r68 could be used (in this way they are easily comparable). For templates, they could be shown as a point source or better as contours using existing libraries as aplpy.

Hi @Fdepalma! I think this is a very good idea! Are you interested in implementing this yourself?
