Would it not be possible to draw the polygon as 2 different polygons (the inner polygon & the outer using the postgis functions)? You could specify a fixed offset for one or the other.<br http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><br>On the other hand, if you just have 1 polygon (with a single line, so no inner polygons) and you're trying to accomplish a visual effect that the inside of the polygon lies further away, i would accomplish this by drawing a thicker border.<br><br>Or you could possibly use the asymmetric line drawing functions that are available.<br><br>Maybe give a more concrete example of what exactly you are trying to do.<br><br> </p>
