I'm using coyote graphics. 'psym=10' works fine on a cgplot line But when i try to use it in cgplots it does Not work. I've seen this referenced in other posts that this is normal. I'm not sure why this is so, and how to get around it if it is normal.
Thanks.

PLOTS (and thus CGPLOTS) does not accept PSYM = 10
% PLOTS: PSYM (plotting symbol) out of range
I've come across this problem when drawing legends.
It makes a little bit of sense to me -- if PLOTS is meant to connect points, then "histogram" mode does not really directly connect two points, but inserts a point in the middle. --Wayne
