[OpenLayers-Users] Tile boundary rendering

[Ben Brehmer]

Hello Everyone,

I am running mapserver and TileCache for server-side tile caching.

I have attached some snapshots of something that is quite common on my 
map. Some of the roads (mostly diagonal ones) have chunks missing 
wherever they encounter a tile edge.

After some investigating I figured out the cause of this problem:
The roads on my map are drawn with a circle symbol. If a road intersects 
a tile edge at 90 degrees the rounded end is chopped off cleanly. But if 
the road intersects a tile edge at an angle, part of the rounded end is 
shown and causes a very undesirable effect.

So I guess my question is, is there a buffer (or similair) in TileCache 
that can be set to specify the amount that is rendered past the edge of 
a tile?

Thanks,

Ben
