Hi Nicol, The setGeomTransform method simply sets the string expression for the layer - no changes to the geometries occur until rendering (with the draw function), and temporary shapes are created and rendered.
If you need to access transformed geometries you'd need to loop through the shapes and use methods on the shapeObj, e.g. https://mapserver.org/mapscript/mapscript-api/stub/mapscript.shapeObj.html#mapscript.shapeObj.simplify The relatively new centerline transformation however is not part of the MapScript API. It could be added (and would be a nice addition).
