I've noticed that symbols, patterns and swatches are very similar in the
way they can be stored, rendered and presented to the user. They are
all fragments of SVG documents, usually stored in /shared directory.
When I finish implementing model for strong paints I'll see if it's usable
for symbols. It seems to me much of the code can be shared.
In addition to symbols dialog, size of the tile and fitting into tile will
be controlled in swatches dialog. TileView widget supports it.
I have to choose what kind of UI to use for setting the size. Currently
the symbols dialog uses buttons at the bottom, while existing
swatches dialog provides menu with options to control the look.
In addition to this, in my proposal [1] I sketched a dialog for TileView
configuration, but now I see it using it would mean a lot of clicking.
