Research direction

Start at the CustomIcon entry point and check how omitted icon size is handled. Confirm the behavior with an image whose dimensions are not square; done means the original aspect ratio is preserved without manually supplying a size.

Description

Hi all,

I'm trying to add a bunch of logos to a map using CustomIcon and when I don't provide the icon size, they are rescaled to a square.

Is there a way to avoid this without having to provide the aspect ratio manually?
