Hi Roy,
I've been fiddling with this also, but was not successfull. I found that
it's only possible to rotate 90, 180 and 270 degree's WITH transparency,
but only with png24 (not png8), all other degrees will result in some
semitransparent block around the symbol.
Somebody suggested problems with the underlying gdlib at that time?
If you (or somebody else) manage(s) to get this working: please let
me/us know.
for example see:

Hai,
I've got a question about the transparency of rotated GIF files. Perhaps
it's asked a many times but i can't find a answer on the internet.
The layer:
LAYER
STATUS OFF
METADATA
"wms_title" "somelayer"
END
CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
NAME "somelayer"
CONNECTION "user=postgres password=xxxx dbname=xxxx host=xxxxx"
DATA "the_geom from somelayer"
#MAXSCALE 100000
TYPE POINT
DUMP TRUE
TEMPLATE bla
TOLERANCE 10
TRANSPARENCY alpha
CLASS
EXPRESSION ('[s]'="B")
NAME "Brug"
STYLE
ANGLE [road_direction]
COLOR 0 0 255
SYMBOL "bridge.gif"
END
END
END
If i don't rotate the image then the image is transparent but if i add
the property angle [road_direction] the image rotates fine but isn't
transparent any more. How can a i solv this problem?
Tia,
Roy
