Hi,

I am trying to find out if there is a way to plot out shapes that appear on a cylinder on an xy-axes. The points that cause problems are the ones  that start at say 0 degrees and then overlap the 350 degrees region....I have attached a plot shopwing what I mean.

I want to plot out as a shapeseries (as shown in plot). One way would just be to have 2 shapeseries for every point and then for the ones that overlap you just use the second shapeseries and for the ones that don't then you just set the shapeseries points to be equal...then it makes it easier to incorporate hit-testing as they will have the same array number.

I was just wondering if there was a better way that didn't involve two shapeseries.

Any help much appreciates.

Regards,

Marcus
