Re: [jts-dev] Parallel Offset!

[Martin Davis <mtnclimb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the advice, Andrea.  I think I was aware of this - but it's still interesting to understand the approach.

I'm still somewhat optimistic that there's a way of generating reasonable curves in a wide variety of situations (and degrading gracefully in tough cases).  Hopefully I'll get a chance to work out those ideas.

I think I did extract the GeoTools code at one point and make it usable standalone.  It wasn't too hard to do I think.

It should not... but one should consider the objective of that code, it's a rendering tool, it's meant to be fast and work reasonably well on small 

offset distances (to the point that eventual issues are not visible, but not to the point that they are not there). 

If one wants something that is completely correct, especially with large offset distances, I'd advise to look somewhere else.
