dear listObserved using mapserver 6.0.1, I have noticed that symbol rotation doesn't seem to follow map rotation, ie. the symbols keep the same absolute angle whatever the map angle is. I have the feeling this is a current limitation of Mapserver, as it doesn't know if the symbol angle is an absolute value (independent of the map angle) or relative (map angle should be added to symbol angle).
example here: no map rotation (signs symbols with angle aligning them with the streets): http://map-preprod.morges.ch/preprod/wsgi/mapserv_proxy?BBOX=527784.2%2C151341.33%2C527831.44%2C151402.27&HEIGHT=2438&WIDTH=1890&map_resolution=254&TRANSPARENT=true&VERSION=1.1.1&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SERVICE=WMS&format_options=dpi%3A254&LAYERS=vd_cad_tpr_cs_s_coul_grl%2Cvd_cad_tpr_baths_s_coul_grl%2Cvd_cad_tpr_odl_l_coul_grl%2Cmf_cad_no_lieudit_label_coul%2Cmf_cad_ab_nom_localisation_label_coul_grl%2Cpri_25_a%2Cgeb_25_a%2Ceis_25_l_modif%2Cstr_25_l%2Coft_tpr_swissnames%2Cmf_sig_signal_physique&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG%3A21781with map rotation (signs symbols have kept their initial angle and are not aligned anymore): http://map-preprod.morges.ch/preprod/wsgi/mapserv_proxy?BBOX=527784.2%2C151341.33%2C527831.44%2C151402.27&HEIGHT=2438&WIDTH=1890&map_resolution=254&TRANSPARENT=true&VERSION=1.1.1&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SERVICE=WMS&map_angle=59.99999999999999&format_options=dpi%3A254&LAYERS=vd_cad_tpr_cs_s_coul_grl%2Cvd_cad_tpr_baths_s_coul_grl%2Cvd_cad_tpr_odl_l_coul_grl%2Cmf_cad_no_lieudit_label_coul%2Cmf_cad_ab_nom_localisation_label_coul_grl%2Cpri_25_a%2Cgeb_25_a%2Ceis_25_l_modif%2Cstr_25_l%2Coft_tpr_swissnames%2Cmf_sig_signal_physique&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&angle=59.99999999999999&SRS=EPSG%3A21781
could someone confirm or infirm?In my opinion I would prefer a relative angle calculation by default, but that's just me :)
