<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"> I am new to Mapserver, deep in the learning curve. I have a question that I hope someone can answer. If I add a Grid layer to the map file the map draws the grid with no problem. However, I need the grid to be displayed as graticules, that is, distorted as lines of latitude and longitude are distorted depending on the projection. Instead the grid lines are all true vertical, horizontal. Is this possible?</FONT></P>
