Issue between map_angle query string and ANGLE in the symbole

[sbrunner]

Use mapserver version: 7.0.0

And we have the following results:

Class definition:

    CLASS
        NAME "Manchon"
        EXPRESSION "ma"
        STYLE
            SYMBOL "eau_manchon"
            SIZE   5
            ANGLE  [orientation]
        END
    END

Thanks in advance

Looking through the code I believe there are quite a few places where the map rotation is ignored and/or incorrectly applied. The feature was mostly intended for raster data, and the support for it is minimal on the vector side. I'm available for contracting if this support on the vector side is important for you.

[sbrunner]

OK, thanks for the investigations :-)

see #1135 for the initial discussions around this

Is there any chance to see this issue addressed? Or it still need a specific dev for it?

Thomas isn't particularly active at the moment so I don't think we're going to see action without someone getting excited about fixing - it's not a feature I've ever used. I wish we had Thomas' exploratory notes on the topic. Patches gratefully accepted...

FYI, here is a MapFile project to test the problem.

While I'll take a look before the next beta there's a reasonable chance I'll push it out past 7.2... --Steve

@rouault can we close this issue?

[rbovard]

Thanks a lot, it's working fine.
