Wow, what a coincidence. I'll wait for that.
 
Just some other question. Is there any news about supporting arcs in GeoTools?
 
Thanks.
Ron

They are not, for the same reason as labels

It seems to me that this should not be a lot of work. In this case you don't 
have to worry about multiple line segments (the distance is very small and 
drawing symbols on top of eachother cannot be avoided anyway).

Incomplete implementations of line offset have already been rejected, we are 
looking for one that does true offset, 
not half half (simple reason, you give the partial implementation, walk away, 
then users start bombarding us with
bug requests about it not working in half of the cases).
This ticket has a patch that partially works, probably more than the one you're 
thinking about, but it was still 
not applied because it does not support properly sharp angle changes, self 
interescting lines, and rounded corners:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-3912


Good news through, we've just (like, 20 minutes ago) landed a contract to 
implement the real thing, with curved bends 
and self intersection properly supported. Don't have a release date yet. 


Cheers
Andrea
