RE: [emergency] Circle and Polygon

["Aymond, Patti" <Patti.Aymond@ieminc.com>]

Len,

I cannot. Gary Ham has received complaints from DMIS users that the messages
that we post that contain large, complex polygons have caused throughput
problems. Gary, can you provide specifics?

Please, can you be more specific about the applications, 
the problem types, and where they occur (eg, 
on portable devices, desktops, etc.)?  Examples?

Message size has multiple solutions.

With the size and complexity of the polygons that represent jurisdictional
boundaries, I fear that the GML polygon representation would become
prohibitively large. Some applications are already having problems ingesting
the large messages containing the simplified version for complex polygons.
