Comment (by lazaa):

 Replying to [ticket:3050 wenzeslaus]:
 > Size of the north arrow cannot be changed. All symbols are scaled to one
 common size, that's good, but this size should be further rescaled by a
 value of a `size` option.

 The size of symbol is manually tuned and for each symbol is quite
 different. I would add {{{size}}} option. If user doesn't use {{{size}}}
 manually tuned size will be used. But if user writes {{{size=25}}} for
 some symbols it will have increasing size effect and for others decreasing
 size effect. Is it OK? User would have to find right size for a symbol and
 after that if he changed mind and wanted use another symbol he would have
 to find the right size one more time.

 {{{
     /* sizes manually tuned */
     switch (n_arrow_num[0]) {
     case '7':
         symbol_size = 23.;
         break;
     case '8':
     case '9':
         symbol_size = 17.;
         break;
     case 'b':
         symbol_size = 80.;
         break;
     case 'f':
         symbol_size = 100.;
         break;

 }}}
