[mapserver-users] symbol position moving when using angle

Hi list,

hopefully someone can explain the following issue to me.

I am using a vector symbol (ttf), and when using no angle, it is
positioned correctly.

However, when I use ANGLE on the STYLE (using an attribute in the
dataset), things get weird and the symbol position changes.

Image brous4.png (no rotation in Mapserver, red exclamation marks are
Mapserver, black exclamation marks are ArcMap, blue dot is the same
Mapserver layer using a circle symbol to display the location):

Image brous3.png, now we rotate the symbols in Mapserver, but their
location is moving (a simple OFFSET does not seem to be a possible
solution however):

TIA for any guidance.

Best regards,
Bart
