[geos-devel] geos offset curve builder question

2011-01-31 Thread Steve Monday
All, I've been using geos successfully for many months. I appreciate the work that has been invested in geos and the robustness of the api. I do have a "how to" question around the OffsetCurveBuilder but don't want to clutter this list if geos-devel is not intended to be a general purpose geos q

All, Given the following coordinates, I'm attempting to generate an geometry offset by a given distance. Coordinates: -95.00401669688529,46.00186834142991,0 -95.00107846495065,46.00180429960306,0 -95.00103515172066,46.00461557617567,0 -95.00407243675345,46.00464859106228,0 -95.00401669688529,46.

Steve, I suspect your issue is one of coordinate systems. GEOS works on a "flat" Cartesian coordinate system. If you were to plot those coordinates on a flat X-Y plane, I think you'll find that the offsets are as you expect. In other words, your polygon IS being offset correctly 0.0003 DEGREES
