[mapserver-users] rotate symbols ??

[Steve Lime]

This is possible with TrueType smybols. For example, you can actually
use class labels and the text attribute for symbolization. Your text
value would likely refer to a single symbol in a font. You can pull the
angle then from an attribute using the labelangleitem parameter. 

Please add a feature request to Bugzilla for general symbol rotation.

I would be interested in this features also. The best I have been able
to come up with so far is to create 8 symbols based on
N,S,E,W,NE,NW,SE,SW and then slot the direction into the closed fit.

It would be nice to have a symbol and be able to specify a direction to
rotate it to.
