Do we have something like pyramids for for vector data ? What I mean is having a FeatureSource (say, the boundary of Europe having 100 000 vertices) and drawing the boundary on a 640x480 image. I really do not need 100 000 points and therefore I make some generalizations, each as its own feature source, minimizing io traffic and cpu usage.
It would be nice to have a (read only) FeatureSource as a Wrapper for all the generalizations (best design pattern would be a composite), which selects the proper generalization (depending on world and pixel size) and returns a much smaller number of vertices. It is the same concept as we have for image pyramids (I think, AbstractGridCoverageReader has the logic built in).
