I am drawing lines on openlayers for a project. Using a prior map client I would draw a line with a 1px black border around a 2px colored line using a stroke and fill values.
However, in openlayers the fill values for the style of a line are only used for polygons, not lines. I attempted to achieve the same effect by drawing two separate lines on the same path, a black line 4px wide and a color line 2px wide. For some reason, only the 2px color line shows up on the map. If I pause the rendering between the two lines, they both render but as soon as I zoom or pan the map the first (4px black) line dissapears and only the second 2px color line remains rendered. Any idea why that might be happening or have a better idea how to achieve that effect? I am doing something like this: // first line var lineBg = new OpenLayers.Geometry.LineString(points); var theStyleBg = { strokeColor: '#000000', strokeWidth: 4, strokeLinecap: 'round' }; var featureBg = new OpenLayers.Feature.Vector(lineBg, null, theStyleBg); featureBg.id = 'linebg'; this.pathLayer.addFeatures([featurebg]); // second line var line = new OpenLayers.Geometry.LineString(points); var theStyle = { strokeColor: '#eedd00', strokeWidth: 2, strokeLinecap: 'round' }; var feature = new OpenLayers.Feature.Vector(line, null, theStyle); feature.id = 'line'; this.pathLayer.addFeatures([feature]); -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Creating-shadowed-or-stroked-and-filled-lines-tp4054199p4054199.html Sent from the OpenLayers Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@openlayers.org http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
