Durn it - why can't Google just use Java like the rest of us? 8^)

I guess a PyTS would make Sean Gillies happy...

I wonder what the closest project that has been done is... Would be interesting to see someone's take on a Geometry model in Python

Or, to fit into the new Google App Engine, a port to Python.

No, its definitely not in Dojo itself.

Dojo does provide some pretty cool tools which make handling and processing data a pile easier (dojo.data and functional constructs are two examples).

On the geometry-size thing - we routinely handle and edit 4,000 point lines & polygons in-browser. But the browser vector implementations (SVG/VML/etc) still have further to go.

Thanks, Brent. Looks like a nice clean implementation.

Just a note, that's "intersects" - the spatial predicate. "intersection" is a whole bunch more complex to implement.

And this implementation is O(n^2) - which is ok as long as the geometries are fairly small (which is probably the usual situation in the browser - or is it?)

well, i dont know about dojo, but intersection is available in OpenLayers trunk!
