Any alternatives of "circle" ('o') symbol using New Graphics? [message #89164]

Hello,

I've been using DG for a couple of years, but recently I began to use NG.

Today, I needed to save a scatter plot of 20K data points in eps format. I marked each point with circular symbol, 'o'. IDL generated 54MB eps file in about 5 to 10 minutes.
I soon realised that this is due to the fact that each circular symbol has too many vertices, and if I change symbol into '+' it would yield a simple small 1.4MB eps file instantly.

So, would there be any alternative circular symbol that I can use like "p=plot(..., sym_object=foo(),...)" that does not make my plot file as large as a high-def music video?

Thanks in advance.
