Hello Group! I have created a small map, that should simply display a polygon that spanns the whole world once. First I had a few problems with large polygons when i crossed certain borders (like the international date border i guess) but I managed to draw a spanning polygon by dividing the edges of the polygon at the half and shift the "bottom left" point a bit upwards. I prevent the world from being repeated by overriding tileCheckRange and getWrapWidth. Markers are also drawn just once, but polygons are repeated, which looks quite arkward.
You can find the map/code at http://menedev.de/GMapSnippets/worldSpanningPolygon.html The map behaves the same on IE8 and FF 3.5.5, Windows XP SP3. (Opera only draws polygons when the map is moved and then draws the same polygon over and over again, but I think thats normal). So is there any way to prevent the Polygons from being redrawn? JS Code for the polygon: var color = "DDDDDD"; // the polygon is created around the center // and subdivided along lat=0° and lng=0° var w = 170; var h = 85; var he = 84.99; var polygon = new GPolygon([ new GLatLng(h, -w), new GLatLng(h, 0), new GLatLng(h, w), new GLatLng(0, w), new GLatLng(-h, w), new GLatLng(-h, 0), // also the "bottom left" point needs to be shifted new GLatLng(-h - 0.01, -w), new GLatLng(0, -w), new GLatLng(h, -w) ], color, 2, 0.0, color, 0.5, {clickable: false}); map.addOverlay(polygon); Any help is appreciated!
