Dotted/Hashed Polylines?

[Syris3000]

Anyone know if dotted lines are supported, or do i need to extend the polyline class and create my own?

Polyline and SurfacePolyline do support stippling. See setStippleFactor() and setStipplePattern().

So that works, but when i zoom in closer to the line the stippling stops and the line becomes solid... am i doing something wrong?

RenderableLayer tracksLayer = new RenderableLayer();
gisEditor.insertBeforePlacenames(tracksL ayer);
Polyline p = new Polyline();
p.setStippleFactor(3);
p.setStipplePattern((short)0xAAAA);
gov.nasa.worldwind.geom.Angle a = gov.nasa.worldwind.geom.Angle.fromDegree s(0);
gov.nasa.worldwind.geom.Angle b = gov.nasa.worldwind.geom.Angle.fromDegree s(5);
List<LatLon> ll = new ArrayList<LatLon>();
ll.add(new LatLon(a,a));
ll.add(new LatLon(b,b));
p.setPositions(ll, 1000);
tracksLayer.addRenderable(p);

And the performance is really bad... when i add the stippled polyline zooming and moving around are slowed significantly.

I tried you code in the context of an ApplicationTemplate subclass and it works as expected. The stippling patterns stays the same at all zoom levels. When getting very close to the line it ends up being clipped by the near plane, but that's expected too.

Try to test this code in a simple app first to see whether it works properly before integrating it to your project.

I'm sorry, i made a stupid mistake.... that was inside of a method being called repetitively so it was creating a new layer every time. This explains why the performance was so bad and the line didn't look dotted anymore. I feel stupid now

So I am still having some issues though.... My polyline has way to many points for the stipple to work correctly. B/c i want to line to have smooth curves i have a lot of points and it is trying to stipple between the points, which isnt very much room.
Any other ideas?

Can you post a screenshot?
