And I though I'd covered all the bases before asking.

Thanks for the google pointer, good info.

This was discussed on the group in March 2000 under the title "Object
graphic 3d Scatterplot". This Google link may well take you to the thread:

Basically the answer is, set the IDLgrSymbol's COLOR property to an array of
colours. The symbol will cycle through these colours.

I think you just didn't happen onto the correct sequence
of polylines and symbols. Here is an example of an
object graphics scatterplot that I cobbled together
some time ago from my SIMPLE_SURFACE code.
