Cannot change icon of a PlaceNode after being added to the map

osgEarth Version (required): 3.4

Description of the problem: icon does not change by setStyle(style)

What you have tried: I am trying to change the icons using code after assigning an initial icon when i was creating the node as below:

      osgEarth::PlaceNode* label =
          new osgEarth::PlaceNode(
              osgEarth::GeoPoint(
                  geoSRS,
                  port->getPortCoordinate().getLongitude().value(),
                  port->getPortCoordinate().getLatitude().value(), 0,
                  osgEarth::AltitudeMode::ALTMODE_ABSOLUTE),
              labelText.toStdString(),
              _normalStyle);
                        

Screenshot, code block, or data file that will help reproduce the issue:

    void toggleHighlightNode(const osgEarth::ObjectID& id) {
        auto node =
            osgEarth::Registry::objectIndex()->get<osgEarth::PlaceNode>(id);
        if (!node) return;

        auto it = _highlightedNodes.find(node);
        if (it != _highlightedNodes.end()) {
            node->setStyle(_normalStyle);
            _highlightedNodes.erase(it);
        } else {
            node->setStyle(_highlightStyle);
            _highlightedNodes.insert(node);
        }
        node->dirty();
    }

This may be a bug in PlaceNode; as a workaround, try calling PlaceNode::setIconImage() directly and see if that works.

Thank you. This worked.

Thanks for reporting back.
I have marked this as a defect and will put it in the queue to patch up for the trunk.
