[Mapserver-users] Preperation for 4.2 release, update of [shpxy...] tag...

[Steve Lime]

Hi Folks: This is just a heads up for folks using the [shpxy...] tag in
4.1. I've done a bit of
clean up on the tag to make it more useful. Gone is the transform
attribute and there is
a new proj attribute. That attribute allows you to specify an output
projection for a feature.
You can set proj="image" to output the feature in image coordinates
suitable for an
imagemap. Otherwise proj takes a Proj.4 projection string. Note that
the layer associated
with a feature must contain a projection object. There still may be
issues with "image"
coordinates IF the output map is in a different coordinate system than
the layer.

Without any proj attribute coordinates (at this point) are given in the
native projection
of the layer.

Any help testing would be appreciated!
