[postgis-users] visually linking the polygons of multipolygon layer

[Chris Hermansen]

 From a cartographic perspective, there is a long tradition of using a 
kind of double-ended fish-hook, or maybe I should say something like an 
integration symbol, to do this sort of thing.

If you're interested in catographic traditions!!!

As to functions, I've not seen anything like this.  If I were trying to 
do this, I would I suppose write a stored procedure that went through 
the multipart polygons, unwound each into its component polygons, find a 
point on each component polygon, build that list of points into the line 
string.
