I think the function implemented in the current patch ignores points completely. This has to be implemented as well as
the support for data with extended types.
Regarding the special style: I am not sure how this has to be done. The current implementation works only with the data
in the *.img files, so this would require a completely different logic, but afaik it should be possible.
