Hi Gary, Do you not just want an algorithm to compute the convex hull of the points? If so, the Graham Scan algorithm will probably do what you want, though there are others. See http://softsurfer.com/Archive/algorithm_0109/algorithm_0109.htm for an explanation. Cheers, David. > -Original

The data set does have the "city:left" &"city :right" fields. (as part of the DBF file) Although probably not useful because the city boundry will eventually get shown. And ya, use the last sample of canvec (as its the best) -Niagara falls Ontario "addr:interpolation" i'll add that tag, thanks. .
