 SIZE [double|attribute]
 
-    - Height, in layer SIZEUNITS, of the symbol/pattern to be used. Only useful with
-      scalable symbols. Default is 1. For symbols of Type HATCH, the SIZE is the
-      distance between hatched lines. For its use with hatched lines, see
-      Example#8 in the :ref:`symbology examples <sym_examples>`.
-    - [*Attribute*] was introduced in version 5.0, to specify the item name in
-      the attribute table to use for size values.  The hard brackets [] are
-      required.  For example, if your shapefile's DBF has a field named "MYSIZE"
