Hi everybody, I'm using the USERSYM routine to plot filled color squares over a map projection. However, I'd like to outline these squares in black or gray. USERSYM allows a fill OR an outline, but not both, and especially not with 2 different colors. Has anyone come across a nifty solution? Cheers, Martin..

Still, the Object Graphics support for symbols *is* very powerful.

I did that one time! It didn't look as neat as I thought it would. :-( Cheers, David -- David Fanning, Ph.D. Fanning Software Consulting, Inc.
