Hi David: There is no connection between offset and symbol size. The offset is 
independent and given
as a constant value in pixels (although it is scaled). Sounds like you need to 
change it dynamically based
on your image size and that can't be done as things sit now. Can you fix your 
image size or is it and I'm
missing something.
