Marker image sizes

I don't think it is possible to do what I need, but if anyone has time 
to tinker, I've put an example stack here:

<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23431607/markerTest.livecode>

The problem seems to be that the markers are drawn based on each point's 
position as it would lie on a tiled copy of the original image. Markers 
are not drawn individually, they are "stamped" out of the tiled copy in 
the buffer.

I don't see a solution to this.
