Right. DP is not used in the rendering engine because it's so slow that trying to use it slows down things compared to drawing the geometries as they are (as opposed to the cheap simplification algorithm used now, which is an improvement). I asked about smoothing because in the GIS literature smoothing usually involves adding points to make lines appear smoother, or, if you want, more accurate that they really are, because the process adds details instead of removing them: http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?TopicName=smooth_line_(data_management) Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Geotools-gt2-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geotools-gt2-users
