Hi,
Because it is a service level default one must make a compromise. At some moment too wide tolerance starts to find several features and for polygons the tolerance could well be zero always. However, I think that using 5 pixels as default tolerance would not be too big.

My suggestion was more to change the actual default (3) itself for GeoServer to … 5? rather than add a new feature. I like the feature idea, but I think it only sidesteps the issue of the default being too low. Hence asking if other people/users are encountering problems with the current default of 3.
Regards,
Jonathan

Good point. I figured it was 3 pixels for the search, plus 0.5 for half the line width. In that case, at least visually in rasterland the pixel is within 3.5 pixels of the centreline, hence my comment about rounding.
Back to the original thought, is it possible to increase the default? I know quite a few of our users are missing the features, I wonder if that is happening to other GeoServer users as well?
I think there’s going to be a bias that 3 pixels is fine because, technical types (the folks who implement GeoServer) usually have much better mousing skills than general users. But that’s just my theory; maybe it’s just a problem local to us.
As said, no problem implementing a default for the min value, provided that:
-
there is resources to do so
-
there is an understanding this is a new feature, and now we are in feature freeze
Cheers
Andrea
