Hallo [EMAIL PROTECTED],
> Send dev mailing list submissions to > The island itself is just a simple, single polygon. No, it isn't. Big islands are divided into several "coastline" polygons. If a such a polygon is not closed, you have to search the whole data base for all following polygons which complete the island. Only after that, you know which side of the polygon is land and which side is water. Here you find a small map with really big and complicated islands which even have small lakes: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolovesi-Nationalpark I suppose it is a challenge for every renderer.
