I mis-spoke. PIXMAP symbol rescaling is supported, rotation is not.
Sorry for the confusion.

Ok you lost me in this dialog. So does that mean rotating PIXMAP
symbols is 
supported? If so do they have a rotation property or how do you set
their 
rotation? Can it be done per symbol on the fly or is it a rotation for
all 
symbols on that layer?
Thanks,
Andy
