Dear Giuseppe
I have just posted version 0.2 that has some additional embedded vector
symbols and now an easier way for me to add arbitrary shapes.
See my comments below:

Hi Geof,
Your vertex symbol plugin works very fine. I am
testing it on some point layers using both vector and
raster symbols.
I have few observations to do:
1) either vector or raster symbols dooesn't scale when
you zoom in/out the project.
Do you think it is possible to add "scale symbols
with zoom level" option?
You are right the symbols do not scale with the image. This was a
fundamental decision on my part.
This is not so easy to change, I will have to think about it.
A question to other users: is this a really important feature?
2) vector symbols are embedded in the plugin and
can't be modify. Users can customize thair own symbols
with raster figures but they trasparency.
I know that other GIS editor solved this in different
way: a) reading SVG symbols sketched by user(QGIS) or
b) using customized font files as symbols repository
(Arcview, Tatukgis).
Second solution seems to be better. But first one
solution is easier for user as SVG symbols can be
traced using Inkscape.
Do you think it is possible to transfer SVG reading
capability to your plugin?
The vector symbols may be able to be defined using a WKT specification
as we need to retain enough geometric data to scale and rotate them - I
will have to think about his. I do not (yet) know enough about SVG
format to comment of this option.
The image symbols can be created with any package that can produce a
gif/jpg/pnf file, though one of the icon painting packages is probably
the best to use.
I thank you for the replay

Dear Jump Users
I am in the process of finalizing a new plugin that
enables a variety of
symbols to be placed on vertices in maps (on points,
lines and
polygons). The available vertices include a range of
polygon and star
shapes (parameterised for size, orientation, fill
etc) and the facility
for users to add their own images (gif, jpg or png)
on vertices. The
symbols are specified by layer, so each layer can
have different symbols.
A preliminary version can be downloaded from:
http://www.cadplan.com.au
There may still be bugs at this stage, feedback is
requested.
To enable high quality printing of these new
symbols, a new version of
the JumpPrinter plugin is also available (ver 1.30).
This version of
JumpPrinter requires the VertexSymbols plugin to be
be installed
concurrently. The VertexSymbols plugin can be
installed by itself.
Assistance with internationalization is also
requested (only a small
number of parameters)
