Multiple point symbols

[Stephen Woodbridge]

OK, so why not make them images.

The problem I see in general with this plan is that as you zoom in on 
them the number of pixels between your regularly spaced points 
increases. So you will always be dealing with issues of scaling things 
and I don't think you will get it to look right.

Can you convert your grid points into polygons and do a polygon fill?
