Can I get an opinion on this from other people? If you've got a Vector
feature, which is drawn as an image-at-a-point, is setting the width via
pointRadius, and allowing the height to be set to maintain the aspect
ratio, good enough?

Or, should a different property -- perhaps graphicWidth/graphicHeight -- be
used, to allow users to specify different widths/heights than the aspect
ratio of the original image?
