[mapguide-users] $Assistance "Drawing a line between two points"

[marfalox]

Hi, maybe this could be a starting point for somebody who wants to write the
function:

1 - draw a straight line between start and end points
2 - intersect the land polygons, you will get couples of intersection
points.
3 - for each couple take the intersecting polygon boundary, split it in two
parts starting from the intersection points and take the shortest boundary
part
4 - offset the boundary outside of the polygon by a distance you want to
take from the land
5 - join with the next line

this will not make the shortest path and will need a regularization
procedure, but should work. 

Marco
