Comment (by tschaub):

 Replying to [comment:7 bartvde]:
 > Tim, works for me. Is it really the best approach though to use the
 minRectSize as the width and height of the point image? Should you not use
 width and height auto for this?

 Hey Bart.  Let me know if I'm missing your point, but I think I get it.
 The minRectSize property is used to set the width/height of the
 extentRectangle when minRectSize is reached.  The extentRectangle also
 gets a new display class name.  The default CSS declaration gives the
 extentRectangle a background graphic.  So I never touch the size of the
 image (just the size of the element that uses the graphic as a
 background).  This is necessary to be able to position the extentRectangle
 (with top and left).

 As an alternative, we could honor the height and width declared in the CSS
 - but then you'd have to type those numbers in twice (width and height) -
 seemed easier to configure the control with a single property.  In
 addition, there's not a handy method to get a CSS rule for an element that
 is not currently rendered (as would be the case with the replacement
 rectangle - we need to know the threshold before deciding whether to
 switch styles).
