Hi,

Reaspect does not seem to do anything with Mapserver acting as WMS server.  The example here http://mapserver.org/trunk/faq.html is for Mapserver acting as a WMS client and reading data from some ArcIMS servers.

understand it (poorly) the WIDTH and HEIGHT will remain the same, but if
'reaspect=true' the BBOX may be adjusted so the aspect ratio of the
projected image is preserved and WIDTH and HEIGHT just specify a "window"
onto this "correctly" proportioned rendering, while if 'reaspect=false' the
BBOX is retained along with WIDTH and HEIGHT and the image is
stretched/squished to fit. Is this correct, or am I completely
misunderstanding this?

defined by WIDTH and HEIGHT placed onto the image? Is it centered with
respect to the BBOX? Placed against one of the corners? Or something else
altogether?
