I spoke with Tim Schwab about this and it turns out the current release does not support setting the width/height of background graphics separately.

There's a patch to allow setting the background width and height on their own here: http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1968 -Nick > cheers > > On 2/26/09, Ivan Grcic <[email protected]> wrote: > > # > > > > externalGraphic > > > > An external image to be used to represent a point. > > > > # > > > > graphicWidth, graphicHeight > > > > These properties define the height and width of an > > externalGraphic.
