Here's what I get, but honestly, it's what I have
come to expect from function graphics. :-)

IDL> x = [0, 35, 70, 140]
IDL> y = [0, 196.7, 779.8, 37]
IDL> s = string([12006, 12507, 13008, 14010])
IDL>
IDL> ; NG (IDL 8.1)
IDL> p = plot(x, y)
IDL> ps = symbol(x, y, sym_text=s, /data)
% Loaded DLM: XML.
% SYMBOL: Incorrect number of arguments.

Cheers,
