Description

Angle does not seem to work for symbols of type vector ellipse for GIF output. I have not tested other symbol types. It works as expected with AGG.

SYMBOL
  NAME "ellipse2"
  TYPE ellipse
  FILLED true
  POINTS
    1 2 
  END
END # symbol



      STYLE
	COLOR 209 66  0
	ANGLE [direction]
        SYMBOL "ellipse2"
        SIZE 80
      END # style

I don't know that this has ever worked for GD and looking at the GD API I don't see how you could do it short of rendering to a temporary bitmap and rotating it. I'd vote for "Won't Fix".

If that is so, I can document it. A problem for me is that I have not found information on the limitations of GD in the docs. I would very much like to update the docs, but then I would have to know what the limitations are.

OK. I change it to a documentation bug, and reassign it to me. I will include a note in STYLE->ANGLE that says that rotation is not available for ellipses in GD.

If there are other limitations of GD that should be documented, please let me know.
