[Mapserver-users] Raster: rotation params in WLD file - Resampling

[Steve Lime]

The rule should be:

  - check to see if DATA is absolute path, if so use it
  - if not absolute, then check SHAPEPATH
  - if not there, then check MAPPATH (location of mapfile)

There have been recent changes so this is likey a bug.

Marian,

The path handling has changed substantially for 3.7.  I believe the
raster files are supposed to be evaluated relative to the map file
now,
instead of relative to the SHAPEPATH directory, but I am not sure.

There are no plans for this, though through use of esoteric projections
it
is possible to generated rotated output - essentially fooling things
into
believing that north is in another direction.

Best regards,
