Re: [OpenMap Users] Polygon Mathematics

The trick is creating a polygon that has Great Circle edges, which is
what the projection call does for you. You can make calls to the
GreatCircle class (great_circle method) that will tell you what those
points are, in radians, and you can concatenate the different edge
values together. Convert your point to radians, too, and the Java 2D
calls should work.
