[mapserver-users] project onto a globe?

[Ed McNierney]

Tom -

I don't think I understand the question.  Monitors and printers are flat (relatively) surfaces - so most map projections project a portion (or all) of the earth onto a flat surface.  What exactly are you trying to do?

Hi,

I've got some good results with mapserver so far, I am now wondering whether
I can
project the shapefile that I am using onto a globe?

Sorry if this is documented somewhere and I haven't looked hard enough.

Cheers,

Tom H
