This ticket is an enhancement request to look into new design options around adding more flexibility to or extending the PointSymbolizer.

Currently the behavior of the `width` and `height` parameters seems both redundant (see Ticket #60) and non-intuitive. Setting `width` and `height` to any dimensions other than the exact dimensions of the input graphic file crops the graphic rather than scaling the image (which would be my expected behavior).

Ideally support for scaling vector graphics could be added to allow things to be done with the PointSymbolizer related to thematic display of point data, similar to this request:
