R: R: [Mapserver-users] Mapinfo symbols

Wed Jan 7 14:01:47 EST 2004

You could use condition statement. found here
http://www.maptools.org/chameleon/wiki/MapImageSharedResource

Create a condition and an image for all the angles you
need. (I would not do 360 conditions, but maybe 12 or
so, would get you started.)

Just a suggestion ;)
Not sure if I understood the question.
