[MapServer-users] UVRASTER reprojection

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the UVRASTER connection to plot wind barbs. I noticed if
I request the layer in a different projection the location of the arrows
are reprojected but the angle, and presumably vector components, are not -
rather they remain in the same direction relative to my screen. It's a
little unclear from the documentation if this is the expected behaviour for
UVRASTER or not? I included a pasteboard link to a screenshot to show what
I mean, compare for example vectors in the corners of the data and you will
see they point in the same direction relative to my screen, rather than
being rotated to match the projection.

If this is expected, does anyone have any suggested ways of working around
this?

If this is not expected, does anyone have any ideas what I've done wrong? I
can provide some sample data if someone wants to try to reproduce.

I'm using: MapServer version 8.4.0 PROJ version 9.4 GDAL version 3.11
