Sorry!

Yes, the only reasonable way I know of to do this is to duplicate tiles
A1/B1 as "A5" and "B5", adjusting their tiepoints so they run from +180
to +270 degrees.  Do the same to duplicate A4/B4 as A0/B0, running from
-270 to -180.  The equator may be a continuous line on the Earth, but it
isn't one on your map!

Thanks Ed. Thats not quite what I meant though. This person has asked if
is there some magical way for mapserver to show the left side of the B1
image when I'm zoomed in over the right side of the B4 image. The B1
tile is georeferenced to have a minx of -180 and the B2 tile is
georeferenced to have a maxx of +180 so in the real world these two
edges should meet. Instead a white area is displayed anywhere right of
the +180

	Set the map image background to white and then use the OFFSITE
255 255 255 statement in the data layer to make all white pixels
transparent (assuming the no-data value really is exactly that value).
This will cause areas of white that overlap another tile to disappear,
and any valid data pixels that are white will expose the white
background and show up as white.

		Hi,
		=20
		I'm currently using 8 satalite image tiles of the world
(referenced in lat/longs) in Mapserver as shown below:
		=20
		--------------------------
		A1 | A2 | A3 | A4 |
		--------------------------
		B1 | B2 | B3 | B4 |
		--------------------------
		=20
		If I zoom into the lower right tile (B4) I can see a
large white band running top to bottom where the tile finishes just
right of New Zealand. Someone has asked me if it's possible for
Mapserver to automatically display the next logical tile (which would be
B1) to stop the ugly white band. Any ideas?
		=20
		Cheers,
