And certainly circles, even from a vector computer graphics point of view are actually polygons, not circles. Which is really my problem.. And is directly related to dynamic zooming. I am in fact attempting to make my algorithm for converting a representation from a circle (i.e. polygon) to a line and back again sensitive to the actual zoom level. At some definition of local, the circle becomes a line. Summer must be over . I have time for this kind of fun again.
