[OpenLayers-Dev] Patrch for getting vector drawing working over the 180 line going.

[Andreas Hocevar]

Hey Phil,

thanks for your efforts on this! The reason why I recommended to just use the maxExtent is because for OpenLayers 3.0, we are planning a Location object that will replace LonLat and Geometry.Point, which will be aware of projections. So any efforts in that direction done now won't live long. For now, if you use wrapDateLine: true, you just should use the maxExtent of the whole world. If you want to restrict where the user can pan to, configure restrictedExtent on the map.

Regards,
Andreas.
