[Mapserver-users] Projection to Albers

[Paul Ramsey]

Here's your PROJECTION object:

     PROJECTION
       "proj=aea"
       "ellps=WGS84"
       "lon_0=132"
       "lat_0=0"
       "lat_1=-18"
       "lat_2=-36"
       "x_0=0"
       "y_0=0"
     END

I find that reading the proj4 epsg file often gives me good example for 
how to express projections in proj4 syntax.
