hello there, many times i like to show x-y plots with PSYM=10, i.e. histogram-like mode. now i have three sets of data to plot together and i want to distinguish one from another with different fillings (cannot distinguish using colors, printing issues). I though about using plot + polyfill, but then polyfill won't respect the PSYM=10 mode, and the result is not quite what i want. how can i have a "PLOT, PSYM=10"-like graph with pattern filling??? thanks for any advice, paula
