Class: SymbolEncode

_A set of visual encoding properties that determine the position and appearance of a 'symbol' mark. _

_In Vega, there are three primary property sets: enter, update, exit. The enter properties are evaluated when data _

_is processed for the first time and a mark instance is newly added to a scene. The update properties are evaluated _

_for all existing (non-exiting) mark instances. The exit properties are evaluated when the data backing a mark is _

removed, and so the mark is leaving the visual scene. However, in this specification we currently only support

enter and update property sets for a 'symbol' mark.
