[OpenLayers-Users] Circles

[Heidt, Christopher M.]

right, changing a points radius in the style makes the marker that represents a point larger, but it isnt a "Circle" Feature because it remains the same size when u zoom in and out.
 
oracle has a WKT outputer that makes a CURVEPOLYGON(# #,# #,# #,# #) or some such nonsence to represent circles. the problem is that it isnt part of the WKT spec so nothing supports it.
 
I'd change it to a format that is supported,
but i can't find anything in any format that can represent a circle.
Anybody know if it would be a daunting task to add CURVEPOLYGON support to the WKT parser?

Hi Didrik,

I guess the points are still points regardless of their style? So you
can't use their geometry as a replacement of a circle?
