PointSymbolizer works with point geometries, and in Mapnik 0.7.x and below expects a small png or tif image to be supplied as an icon/symbol to be placed at each point. Mapnik2 (current trunk) supports png, tiff, and jpeg images as well as SVG symbols. Mapnik2 also has a new MarkersSymbolizer that can be used to dynamically draw points, based on a few parameters, to avoid the need to load a image or svg as an icon. Here is and example XML: http://trac.mapnik.org/browser/trunk/tests/data/good_maps/markers_symbolizer_points.xml > Am I getting a wrong conclusion?
