ah, I misunderstood you.
You can do that by using a <use /> element that points to the same geometry of you polyline without having to store the geometry twice. Then you can just add a different stroke type to simulate your border effect. As an example see http://www.svgopen.com/2002/papers/ isakowski_neumann__svg_for_interactive_topographic_maps/index.html Section on "code optimization" and this example: http://www.svgopen.com/2002/papers/ isakowski_neumann__svg_for_interactive_topographic_maps/reuse_with_xlink.svg If you want asymmetric lines, you can use masks. Dr. Olaf Hoffmann did examples here: http://olaf.kilu.de/hilfe.php?me=svg2&in=svginnenaussen&stil=a here one of his animated example: http://olaf.kilu.de/svgueb/klippklapp05.svg Andreas --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, "sent1729" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > But the stroke does not add border to the polyline. > > Say for a Polyline with "red" stroke and stroke width "10", I would > like to add a white border with stroke width "2".
