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. > I found an alternative way to it using labels for > symbols (with extra fonts); but I still think that, if > this will nicelly completed your plugin which becomes > extremely useful in OJ. > > > 3) a vertex symbol plugin changed radically the idea > of labels.
