I am not clearly understanding the extent parameter in GIS applications. for ex, In mapserver map file we are using
NAME "CGI-CONTEXT-DEMO"
STATUS ON
SIZE 400 300
**EXTENT -2200000 -712631 3072800 3840000**
UNITS METERS

here extent means lower left x,y and upper right x,y. but long,lat values are not used here , then what is this value? How it is arrived?
Extent is simply an area(square) which is specified with left lower and right upper x and y. In your example it doesn t look like lon lat because it s just a different coordinate system.
The minimum bounding rectangle (xmin, ymin and xmax, ymax) defined by coordinate pairs of a data source. All coordinates for the data source fall within this boundary.
