[OpenLayers-Users] SVG Overlay

[Pierre GIRAUD]

If you need vector symbols you should have a look at this example.

http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/camptocamp/vectorSymbols/examples/vector-symbols.html

Two notes :
 - This only works for point features,
 - this converts svg symbols into vml groups so that they can be
rendered into IE.

Regards,
Pierre
