Currently it is only possible to change the symbol orientation according to an
attribute value. It might be possible to change the size according to value -
though this is more problematical as the ability of the observer to distinguish
relative size is less that distinguishing relative rotation (at least I think
it is!).
Changing the symbol type is probably not practical as is is assumed that the
same symbol type applies to all vertices in a layer. This would require (I
suspect) a change to the core Jump code (comments from developers please?).
Currently, as you know, the vertex label provides a way of showing a (numeric)
value at the vertex.

This would require an option in the core to set an offset for the label,
according to the size of the symbol. Developers - any ideas?
