I don't believe the API supports stippling out of the box. One alternate option would be to draw the tangential portion of the routes with one being slightly wider (by both increasing the width of one and decreasing the width of the other) and then drawing them in order from widest to narrowest. That way, you would have the one route's segments outlining the other route's segments. Of course, this would work best if you only have two tangential routes at a time. 3 or more would probably look atrocious. :)
Maybe someone's figured out stippling, though. I just wanted to offer an alternative just in case. -G On Sep 19, 2009, at 7:00 PM, Jacob wrote: > > Ok this is a great start thanks.
