I’m not very good at mathematics, so I got a problem. I have a route from one, to another distination. Some time I was trying to apply a colored plot aroud the route in fixed length. But I cant get a nice rounded corners and my lack of math is making me a lot of truble.
Now I got this

And the code
var r = [];
var bla = result.routes[0].overview_path;
for(i in result.routes[0].overview_path) {
r.push(new google.maps.LatLng(bla[i].lat()+z, bla[i].lng()-z));
}
bla.reverse();
for(x in bla) {
r.push(new google.maps.LatLng(bla[x].lat()-z, bla[x].lng()+z));
}
var kelias = new google.maps.Polyline({
path: result.routes[0].overview_path,
strokeColor: "#00000",
strokeOpacity: 1.0,
strokeWeight: 2
});
kelias.setMap(MAP);
fonas = new google.maps.Polygon({
paths: r,
strokeColor: "#FF0000",
strokeOpacity: 0.8,
strokeWeight: 2,
fillColor: "#FF0000",
fillOpacity: 0.35
});
fonas.setMap(MAP);
I just want to ask for some information directions OR maybe some of you already have made this functionality and have some functions
Working demo here. Somehow i need to get same result of drawing that.
SOLUTIONS
I found this stack in SO Path stroke algorithm (convert to triangles/quads) or other suggestions where there is a similar question, just for C++.
The answer is a algorithm in this PDF on page 3 (the CONVOLVE algorithm).
If you perhaps could make a working example in JSFiddle, we could be able to program a solution in there.
— edit
After some time of analysing the script in the link you provided for the life demo, I found, that the polyline is not calculated in javascript, but is calculated on the server and returned with a AJAX call to some PERL programme.
