Max Radius for SurfaceCircle

[jscWaveLink]

What is the max radius value for a SurfaceCircle? My circle displays well, unless the radius value exceeds about 10200000.0. I would think that any value less than about 20000 Km (half the circumference of the earth) would display. Actually, I just tried the value above and the wrong half of the globe is drawn. In other words, my specified center was not in the shaded area of the circle. As you would expect, the code is quite simple:

     int red = 10;
     int green = 215;
     int blue = 10;
     double transparency = 0.4;
     double latVal = 36.8027777;
     double lonVal = 10.1797222;
     double radiusVal = 10200000.0;
     ShapeAttributes attrs = new BasicShapeAttributes();
     attrs.setInteriorMaterial(new Material(new Color(red, green, blue)));
     attrs.setInteriorOpacity(transparency);
     LatLon center = LatLon.fromDegrees(latVal, lonVal);
           
     SurfaceCircle sc = new SurfaceCircle(attrs, center, radiusVal);
		
     pathLayer.addRenderable(sc);  
     myFrame.getWwjPanel().getWwd().redraw();

Thanks for your help!

The maximum radius for a surface circle is the radius of the earth (about 6300 km). As the globe is modelled after the WGS84 elllipsoid, it is difficult to define the exact value, but it is not far from that.

Your example already fails for me at

double radiusVal = 6000000.0;

But some playing around revealed that the max radius for a SurfaceCircle is not fix, but depends on the distance of the center to the closest pole. Basically, WW 1.3 fails to correctly display a SurfaceCircle if it is supposed to cover one of the poles. Just play around with different latitudes and radii.

The maximum radius for a surface circle is the radius of the earth (about 6300 km).

This does not make any sense at all, why would that be?
Ideally, every positive radius for a SurfaceCircle should display correctly. For a radius >= half the earth circumference that would mean that the SurfaceCircle covers the whole surface of the earth.
