Using the libgdx framework, I've figured out how to render a texture to a point sprite. The problem is, it renders the entire texture to the point sprite, where I only want a small part of it (since it's an isometric tile image).

Here's a snippet from some demo code I wrote...

create()
{
    renderer = new ImmediateModeRenderer();

    tiles = Gdx.graphics.newTexture(
        Gdx.files.internal("data/tiles2.png"),
        TextureFilter.MipMap,
        TextureFilter.Linear,
        TextureWrap.ClampToEdge,
        TextureWrap.ClampToEdge);

    Gdx.gl.glClearColor(0.6f, 0.7f, 0.9f, 1);

    Gdx.gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
    Gdx.gl.glEnable(GL11.GL_POINT_SPRITE_OES);

    Gdx.gl11.glTexEnvi(
        GL11.GL_POINT_SPRITE_OES, 
        GL11.GL_COORD_REPLACE_OES,
        GL11.GL_TRUE);

    Gdx.gl10.glPointSize(s);

    tiles.bind();
}

render()
{
    Gdx.gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

    renderer.begin(GL10.GL_POINTS);

    // render 3 point sprites at various 3d points
    renderer.vertex(-.1f, 0, -.1f);
    renderer.vertex(0, 0, 0);
    renderer.vertex(.1f, 0, .1f);

    // ... more vertices here if needed (one for each sprite) ...

    renderer.end();
}
