I'm a game developer and my company works on world-wide strategy games. But the planets where the action takes place are completely fictive and we have a planet generator. So it would be interesting for us to be able to teach PostGIS about our new planets at runtime. Currently we're working with a projected view of the world and we're very happy with that. Though we expect the need for the generic geography support to arise by 2011. -- Maxime _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
