There are routines through which open or filled circle can be used as a plotting symbol. But I did not find any which has a dot inside. Currently I am using an alternative approach:

Helder, I am able to get a circle and then a dot inside but the problem is that this dot is connected from the circle by a line (as pointed out by you, a line showing up like a radius). So I think I will have to go with Fabien's method that is writing a separate procedure and calling it in the plotting procedure.

Thanks
