Exponentially! Yikes!

Here is a pretty good database of interesting symbols:

http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/bloccultsymbol s.htm

And you could look at the SYMBOL method in MPI_PlotConfig__Define
for 18 more. I guess I could think of a few more: three-quarter
filled/unfilled circle, half filled/unfilled circle, etc.
I'd be hard pressed to think of 30, let alone 1000's. But
maybe that will get you started. I think users can only
keep about six in mind at any one time anyway, so maybe
you can finesse it. :-)
