Problem: ANGLEITEM and TRANSPARENT

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi All,
I have some troubles also with transparent symbols

server version:
MapServer version 4.10.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SU
PPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT 
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPP
ORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS 
INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAP
EFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG

using transparent png AND output as a png (AND using 'TRANSPARENCY 
ALPHA' as Daniel proposed), results in transparent image symbols, but 
ONLY for the 90, 180 and 270 degrees rotation ???
See attachement: all the same symbol, rotated different degrees.

So it looks like Peter's 'overlapping' problem seems to me not an 
overlapping symbol, but more an 'amount of rotation symbol'.
Maybe this 'conclusion' is helpfull?
It would be nice if rotating image symbols will be fixed one day.

Grtz
