Hi Shahak,
You'd have to do the calculations to figure this out. First, you would
have to use the methods in the com.bbn.openmap.proj.GreatCircle class
to figure out a lat/lon point that is a certain distance away from a
lat/lon point on the line (perpendicular to the line). The
spherical_between method will give you that lat/lon point, given a
starting point and an azimuth and a distance.
Then, you would use the projection class forward method to find out the
pixel locations of the two points, and then calculate the pixel
distance between them. Double that distance would be the stroke width.
Depending on the orientation and length of the line, however, that
width may not be accurate for the entire length of the line, since the
pixel/distance ratio changes depending on the projection type and
location of the line. In that case, you'd have to do the algorithm for
many points on the line, and draw the different thicknesses as required
(not using stroke, but calling java.awt.Graphics methods).
Hope this helps,
- Don
