[Mapserver-users] WMS layer alignment

[Brian Fischer]

Brian,

I had a similar problem a while back and figured out it was an ArcIMS
specific parameter that was doing it.  Try to add this parameter
(&REASPECT=false) to your connection URL for the USGS.  The USGS seems
to use this ArcIMS specific parameter.  I don't know if this is the same
problem I was having, but it worked for me. Just a suggestion, hopefully
it works for you.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] WMS layer alignment

I have a map file that uses a couple of WMS servers to add some nice
images 
to my map.  Specifically, I added the Terraserver orthos - and a
relatively 
new server from the USGS - color orthos for many urban areas.

My map file, the Terraserver WMS layer, and the shapefiles I am using
are in 
NAD83 UTM zone 10N coordinate system.  The USGS WMS layer is in WGS 84.
All 
projections are set in the map file, and for each layer.  When I turn on
the 
Terraserver layer, the image is nicely displayed behind the shapefiles 
perfectly.  When I turn on the USGS layer, the center of the image is 
perfectly aligned - and the rest of the image appears to be squashed -
with 
apparently a larger Y-axis extent that the image should be.  If I change
the 
map projection to WGS 84, the the USGS layer now nicely aligns with the 
shapefiles, and so does the Terraserver image - with no reprojection 
problem.

Any suggestions as to where my problem might be?  I'd like to have the
map 
in UTM project for how it looks compared to WGS - but I can't figure out
why 
the WGS 84 layer is not reprojecting correctly.

Below are the sections from my .map file...

Thanks for any ideas!
