Yes, and the answer is simple, as far as I know it can't. If you look at Paint it just refers to a PaintContext, which is a pure raster api (i.e., it uses the Raster class). Maybe during a print you have use bigger rasters to have better definition, but to the best of my knowledge the Paint API is not vector oriented at all. > Oh, to let you know: we were implementing here a generic hatch > ShapeMarkFactory, i.e., it does what Andrea's one does but for any angle > (yeah, we were coping with computing the right shape size depending on > the angle). Too bad it comes ugly on the printer.. It would be a nice contribution anyways for the rest of the world you know ;) Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you an open source citizen?
