[Mapserver-users] Negative Tolerance?

[Ryan, Adam]

Thanks for the reply.  I negative tolerance is indeed abstract when applied
to a point.

What I want to do is provide an intersect function; I'm thinking polygons.
For example, a user has selected a parcel feature and wants to select all
the survey features that lie below it.  With a tolerance of 0, all the
surveys that only share an edge with the parcel are selected.  I want to use
a small negative tolerance so that only those surveys that actually lie
below it are selected.

So far, a negative tolerance is treated as zero.  Is there another way to do
this?

What are you trying to accomplish?  

I don't believe that it would be appropriate or possible to use a negative
TOLERANCE value, as it defines the radius (in pixels) around a point.  I
can't picture a circle with a negative radius.

List,

Is it possible to use a negative number for a layer's TOLERANCE value? 
I
can't seem to make it work.

Thanks.
