gd rendering : using pixmaps sybols on a line feature

[Steve Lime]

Right now a pixmap is used for a brush, but honestly there is little use for that
capability. More typically brushes are built on-the-fly from ELLIPSE or VECTOR
symbols. So, I think it would be a positive step to allow what you are suggesting.

Hi There,

  Is there a compelling reason why we would not use pixmap symbols to 
render symbols along a line (as it is now done for true type symbols)? 
Is using a pixmap symbol as a gd brush commonly used ?
Using a pixmap symbol along a line would allow the support of this 
feature through an SLD document.

Thanks
