layer type circle

[Nicol Hermann]

Hi List,

i would like to use the layer type 'circle'. Attached you find the
mapfile i use. I expect to get a circle whose diameter is determined by
the two vertices of my line (bounding box for the circle).
What i get is as single point (1x1 pixel) in the center of the two
points.
Do i have a wrong understanding of the layer type, do i miss something
or is this a bug?

Many thanks for your help
Nicol
