[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-2371) Pixel Tollerance for getFeatureInfo requests should be configurable on a per layer basis

Pixel Tollerance for getFeatureInfo requests should be configurable on a per layer basis
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-2371
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2371
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0
         Environment: N/A
            Reporter: Darren
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
            Priority: Minor

When performing a getFeatureInfo request, geoserver by default has a 2pixel tollerance. This is OK for "large" objects like polygons but for points or lines it's far too small - requiring precise mouse control. The tollerance is unfortunaley hard-coded into geoserver. The tollerance should be made configurable as part of the layer configuration in geoserver. So for a layer containing point data, the tollerance could be increased to 16 for instance. This is particularly relevant when using symbols, where you want a larger tollerance so that you can click anywhere within the symbol and get the data as required rather than only in the centre of the symbol.
