Dear MapServer Users,
Does anybody have experience displaying vectors in MapServer? By 
"vectors", I don't mean the usual vector vs. raster difference. What I 
mean is displaying data like wind vectors, which are point locations 
that have both a direction (degrees) and magnitude (e.g. meters per 
second). Usually these are displayed as arrows, which each point in a 
certain direction and whose tails vary in length depending on the 
magnitude each measurement. Is this possible in MapServer? Thanks for 
any suggestions!
Best Regards,
John Maurer
