Icon Shapes

Respondent provides 56 icon shapes for entity rendering on the 3D globe. Set the shape in your source definition's `display.icon.shape` field. Unknown shape names fall back to `dot`.

```yaml
display:
  icon:
    shape: flight
    rotatable: true
    scale: 1.0
```

{{< callout type="tip" title="Directional icons" >}}
Enable `rotatable: true` for directional entities like aircraft and ships. The icon rotates to match the entity's heading (from `observation.velocity.heading`).
