[OpenLayers-Users] Displaying the map reversed - as an April Fools joke

[Adrian Popa]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to know if there is a simple way to load a layer (Tilecache)
but display it reversed (or more accurately rotated 180 degrees), so
that what was north would become south and what was west would become east.

I'm thinking it would make a nice April Fools joke for some of my
colleagues (we use an internal application that uses open layers).

What do you think?

My layer definition is:
var rtc_base = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS('TileCache',
['http://terra-cache1/tilecache/tilecache.py',
'http://terra-cache2/tilecache/tilecache.py'],{map:
'/var/www/html/map/rtc_base.map',transparent: 'false',format:
'image/png2', map_imagetype: 'agg',
layers: 'rtc_base', maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(20.26, 43.16,
29.70, 48.46),maxResolution: maxRes, units: 'm'},
{isBaseLayer:true, projection: sphericalMercator, resolutions: res});",

Is there a simple way to add the rotate 180 degrees effect on the tiles
without actually rotating the tiles? (I want to do this per IP, not for
all the clients).

Or... do you have better suggestion on what would make a nice trick for
April 1st?

Thanks,
Adrian
