USERSYM filled AND outlined? [message #45653] Tue, 27 September 2005 02:18 Go to next message

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..

I did that one time! It didn't look as neat as I thought
it would. :-(

Cheers,

David

Object Graphics.

Oh, you said "nifty"? Sorry.

Still, the Object Graphics support for symbols *is* very powerful. Just
think, if you are plotting pork belly futures, you can have a little 3D
pig at every data point!
