Re: [mapserver-users] Wind direction files rotation using CONNECTIONTYPE uvraster
Hi Andreas, Thanks for the fix. I tried with your solution and with a simple source but it didn't change anything in the arrow direction... But Using the complex Source with and worked fine for me. Thanks again!

Re: [mapserver-users] Wind direction files rotation using CONNECTIONTYPE uvraster
Hi, since you're using GDAL VRT have you tried the "Scale" and "Offset" child elements for a VRTRasterBand? I'd guess, using -1.0 360.0 ... might work for you.

[mapserver-users] Wind direction files rotation using CONNECTIONTYPE uvraster
Hi all, What I'm trying to do: * I want to display wind arrows using 2 files: wind direction and wind speed. I am using the "CONNECTIONTYPE uvraster" feature to display our arrows. Because we don't have U and V wind vectors in the North-South direction for some models, we use the WIND and WDIR files which are respectively wind speed and wind direction (in the North-South direction, or Earth relative). So as input for my layer in MapServer I have a VRT where band 1 is the wind direction (from 0 to 360 degres) and band 2 is the wind speed. Instead of letting MapServer calculates the resulting arrows speed and direction I'm using the raw value of u ([u]) as wind direction and the raw value of v ([v]) as my wind speed. So far so good. My problem is: * The arrow rotation is done using the ANGLE keyword and [u] (wind direction). But the ANGLE rotates the arrows in the counter clockwise direction while the wind direction files increase in a clockwise direction... Because we are using wind direction and wind speed files (raw values of [u] and [v]) we can't use the [uv_minus_angle] and I know that MapServer docs says that no processing can be done on the ANGLE feature. I know that I would have to do some pre-processing (like 360-[u]) and that would solve the problem. But I would have to do this for hundreds of file per day and I'm trying to avoid as much as possible pre-processing. Can you guys think of a solution that would not require pre-processing? I tried playing with the arrow position and other little things but I could not make it work correctly and I'm pretty much out of ideas...
