rotating symbols

[Flavio Hendry]

Hi Francesco

you cannot, however you can do a way around using labels ... Here is a 
map file extract, where I have a column with the angle and a column 
with the text (the letter corresponding to the symbol in my true type 
font ...):

	MAXSCALE 2000
	STATUS ON
	CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
	CONNECTION "Werke/Wasser405/405_WA_Punkt_Erw_Text.TAB"
	LABELITEM "OGR:LabelText"
	LABELANGLEITEM "OGR:LabelAngle"
	SIZEUNITS feet
	HEADER "Art Lagebestimmung"
	TOLERANCEUNITS feet
	TOLERANCE 3
		CLASS

			TEMPLATE "ttt.htm"
			LABEL
				ANTIALIAS TRUE
				TYPE TRUETYPE
				FONT NEAPOLJS

				POSITION cc
				COLOR 0 0 255

			END
		END
	PROJECTION

	END
END

Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best Regards
