Perhaps someone else has developed what you need, and would be willing to
share it with all of us OpenMap users/developers.

Hi All,

I'm trying to use OMCircle to create ellipses that have major and minor axes
that use Length, like the
OMCircle constructor [OMCircle(float latPoint, float lonPoint, float radius,
Length units)] uses for radius.

I'm not sure if this is a good approach or not, but I am planning on
extending the OMCircle class (OMEllispe maybe?) and setting something up
that would simply derive the H/W from the projection during generation and
then use that to rebuild itself as necessary. This approach is
geographically unsound, but at smaller zoom levels it might work well
enough.

I do not have knowledge of the math necessary to do this correctly, but I'm
still going to play around with it.

There is a good possibility that I've missed something that already exists
within the API.
