Symbology

• symbols can be either .gif or .png
• for .pdf output, 8-bit png's must be used (PNG24 won't show transparency)
• pdf library can't nhandle transparency in vector mode, so OUTPUTFORMAT needs to have this:
  • FORMATOPTION “OUTPUT_TYPE=RASTER”
  • (this will cause all layers to become raster, but transparency will work)
