[OpenLayers-Users] Sizing background images and StyleMaps

[Ivan Grcic]

#

externalGraphic

    An external image to be used to represent a point.

#

graphicWidth, graphicHeight

    These properties define the height and width of an
externalGraphic. This is an alternative to the pointRadius symbolizer
property to be used when your graphic has different sizes in the X and
Y direction.

#

graphicOpacity

    Opacity of an external graphic.

#

graphicXOffset, graphicYOffset

    Where the ‘center’ of an externalGraphic should be.

#

graphicName

    Name of a type of symbol to be used for a point mark.

cheers
