[mapserver-users] Projection question

[Ian Walberg]

I thought I understood how PROJECTION worked in map files....

 

The map file below renders the earth/countries outline and a rectangle
with the overall map projection set to init=epsg:4326 and EXTENT -180
-90 180 90.

 

However when I change the overall map projection to "proj=ortho" and
EXTENT -8000000 -8000000 8000000 8000000 I get a globe drawn the
rectangle has not been projected onto the globe.

 

I have various other layers with city names etc and all of these project
ok.

 

What have I misunderstood here?

 

Thanks

 

Ian
