Hello,

I'm trying to make encoded polygons with donuts (islands / holes) in
it.
In Google Earth (non-encoded points and levels) it is drawn well and
looks like this:
www.gisdro.nl/DONUT/Donut.kml

But when I encode the polygons and use this in Google Maps it looks
like this:
www.gisdro.nl/DONUT/

I use this piece of code:

new GPolygon.fromEncoded({
  polylines: [
    {points: "urp~H{m}\
\rG_GW}@hNsMpQ{HgE_MeFhD{GfA_GoBmA_AeCaDaB_EmAiE_Pwy@{AaF{CgFqCsCaFeCsB[oQZ }Co@aE{BLlUd@bFr@`ApD|
I~GzMf@lCJrD\
\vCTDtBpCt@hB^jCVjJnBpL`@fMhApBv@`CFnBKnEV`Ch@jB`C`Ff@xBGFRxAvX{JiRo~@D_@iJ cl@[KcI`FAf@`AlFf@x@jBhKXfCJ|
Dr@`G^j@fBt@@b@jGyD",
     levels:
"PCCEFHCFCAGACECBGBDDBIBEABDBADABFACCDACABDACAAIGCABHBFBACAAFBBEP",
     color: "#FFFFFF",
     opacity: 1,
     weight: 2,
     numLevels: 18,
     zoomFactor: 2},
    {points: "urp~H{m}\
\rG_GW}@hNsMpQ{HgE_MeFhD{GfA_GoBmA_AeCaDaB_EmAiE_Pwy@{AaF{CgFqCsCaFeCsB[oQZ }Co@aE{BLlUd@bFr@`ApD|
I~GzMf@lCJrD\
\vCTDtBpCt@hB^jCVjJnBpL`@fMhApBv@`CFnBKnEV`Ch@jB`C`Ff@xBGFRxAvX{J",
     levels: "PCCEFHCFCAGACECBGBDDBJBEABDBADABFACCDACABDACAAGP",
     color: "#FFFFFF",
     opacity: 1,
     weight: 2,
     numLevels: 18,
     zoomFactor: 2}],
  fill: true,
  color: "#FF0000",
  opacity: 0.7,
  outline: true

It makes no diffference when I change the order of the polygons.
The polygons are drawn well seperately, so no issue with the encoding.
What's going wrong?

A 'donut' is 3D body, and I don't think you can draw that on a 2D
map.
You can only do something flat, like this:
http://facstaff.unca.edu/mcmcclur/GoogleMaps/EncodePolyline/examplePo...

What part of the polygon do you want to be hollow? (I cannot run
Google Earth due to hardware issues).
There seems to be a line connecting the outer white ring with the
inner red block, which I believe should not be there.

Well, maybe 'donut' is not the good word... I mean a hole in a
polygon, exactly the way the Pentagon-example at facstaff shows.
I my example the transparent part (with that strange line in it)
should be red and the red part transparant (the hole).

In that case, the first polygon is drawn wrong.
If you show the first polygon alone, you get the hole in the middle
because the polyline goes around it, (that's why you have the
crossline connecting the inner and outer ring). In fact, the two
polygons do not overlap.
That connecting line as well as the inner ring should not be there.
The first polygon should be only the outer perimeter, and then the API
will substract them.

Yes, you are right. At encoding it pushes the points of every polygon
in an array. But I didn't empty the array when it loops to the next
polygon. That's why the points of the first polygon are in the next
polygon too. Problem solved now, thanks for giving it a look, Marcelo!
