Thanks Frank!
I'd rather stick with something more standard so that we can integrate
with other services.
Any other ideas, anyone?
:-)

Hi all,
I've asked this question before, trolled through the archives and
googled everything I could think of.
*Has anyone come up with an elegant way of displaying data that
crosses the dateline, while keeping the coordinate system in decimal
degrees?*
My Aleutian islands currently get chopped off, and similar problems
ensue with the Pacific Protectorates (Guam, Midway, Samoa, etc)
Thanks for any hints! I hope I'm missing something obvious :-)
Percy,
The obvious is to rewrap your original data to 0-360 and to not tell
mapserver anything about the coordinate system at all. Then you can
work over the dateline without problems.
This does not work well with WMS or anything else that needs to be
coordinate system aware though.
Best regards,
