Line between 2 points

Stephane,

to create a curved line between two points, you will need to calculate
intermediate points along the curve and add them to your line segment.

If you are portraying a straight line (geographic) in a non-geographic
projection then the calculations are simply to add intermediate points
along the line and mapserver will re-project them appropriately, ending
up with a nice curve (depending on the number of points).  If you are
trying to display a curve in the same projection, you will need some
equation to calculate points along the curve.

Cheers

Paul
