The symbol map is a list that maps to the constellation points. So
constellation_points[i] holds the symbol defined in symbol_map[i]. An easy
test to see this working is to take the default Constellation Object in
GRC, which is defined for QPSK, and change the map to [0,1,3,3] and notice
that the symbol 2 (10b) is missing in the output constellation. Without a
symbol map defined, it defaults to it being [0, ..., i-1]. The alternative
is to crash or catch that the vector is empty and exit on an error.

There is the Digital Modulation page in the manual that describes these
things. If you have suggestions for how to improve them, please send them
along:
