 +====== 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)
