Hi John,
The OMGraphics fill color is actually a fill Paint object, which you
can substitute a java.awt.GradientPaint object that should do what
you want. You'll have to write the code that sets the GradientPaint
on the OMGraphics with the blending you want - choosing the colors
and the point locations of where the the colors are located.
You'll have to set the fill paint after the OMGraphic has been
generated with the projection, so you know where the screen points
are to give to the GradientPaint. That leads me to think you might
want to extend OMPoly to do this for you - so that you can give it a
set of colors and lat/lon locations of neighbors and then override
the generate(Projection) method to figure those points out before
setting the GradiantPaint parameters.
Hope this helps,
Don
