Well, specifically, I would like to see how you
define the symbol with USERSYM compared to how
I do it. There must be some difference there, if
mine works and yours doesn't. Or, does mine not
work either? I'm now confused about whether you
tried it or not.
Cheers,
David

Hi David,
I meant, that your library looks fine, but I havent used it in my
specific problem.
I have tried to figure out the limits of my problem by a small programm.
If you use the vertical position a1 = 0.1 both symbols are filled
When you use a1=0.01, the rhomb is filled, but the triangle not. But you
can see the contours of the triangle.
With a1=0.0001 just contours for both symbols are displayed ....
Do you have any suggestions for the rules applied here ?
It seems not to be consequent to contour a symbol but to fill it not ....
Cheers,
Klemens

Well, SYMCAT uses the same method you are using, so
*something* must be different from what you are doing
and what I am doing. :-)

I dont think so, because if symbols are plotted in the no clipping area,
they look fine ....
But SYMCAT looks really fine :-) !

Well, I don't know. All the filled triangles in SYMCAT seem
to work fine:
IDL> plot, findgen(11)
IDL> plots, 10, 3, psym=symcat(19), symsize=4
Do you suppose something is wrong with the way you
calculate the triangle?
Cheers,
David
P.S. You can find SYMCAT here:

Hi David,
I thought noclip=0 is the default setting ?
I added it to the plot command and also to the oplot commands, but it
does not solve the problem. But I have to mention that the problem
arises, when I create a triangle. When I use a rhomb it works fine ....
Cheers,
Klemens

Have you tried adding NOCLIP=0 (please don't ask!)
to whatever command it is you are using?
Let me know. I have some recent experience in this
regard, so I may be able to explain what is happening,
even if I can't fix it. :-)
Cheers,
David
