Temiz,

You weren't too clear on how you got the initial map extents in your map file.
But I will point out that internally mapserver normally adjusts your extents
so as to maintain square pixels.  So if your SIZE parameter does not have the
same aspect ratio as your EXTENT parameter then the extent will be grown in
one dimension or the other in order to have the same aspect ratio.  There
are some ways of overcoming this if it is important for you to have
non-square aspect ratios.

Best regards,
