Correct. I was thinking that a cool way to address it would be doing a quick WPS process with annotations. These kind of processes remain pretty usable to the normal java programmer, see this one that I've made which solves a related problem using again the GeodeticCalculator: http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/src/extension/wps/wps-core/src/main/java/org/geoserver/wps/gs/PointBuffers.java and some description/screenshot of what it does: http://geo-solutions.blogspot.com/2010/11/fun-stuff-computing-circular-buffers-in.html We'd need to backport the annotations from GeoServer to GeoTools to do that, which would take a bit of time, but afaik Jody is interested in doing that. In any case, even if it's not a process writing a stand alone tool using the geodetic calculator would not be hard. Ah, another, probably simpler, possibility is to have the caculator itself return a double[] with all the coordinates instead of a LineString Cheers Andrea Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
