Equivalent of direct graphics PSYM=10 in function graphics? [message #80733]

Hello,

I'm plotting some histograms in both direct and function graphics (yes, I'm a masochist) and I like the clean look of
the PSYM=10 option in direct graphics. I would like to replicate that in function graphics (without embarking on a
month-long project to do so).

I create the histogram,

qc_nbc_hist = HISTOGRAM(qc_dtb_nbc,BINSIZE=binsize,LOCATIONS=qc_nbc_locati ons)

and display it in DG:

PLOT, qc_nbc_locations, qc_nbc_hist, PSYM=10

In FG I do the following:

h = BARPLOT( qc_nbc_locations, qc_nbc_hist, $
FILL_COLOR='light grey' )

but it just doesn't look as good.

I've scoured the help pages searching for fleeting references to examples where this capability may be documented but
didn't find anything.

Has someone serendipitously discovered how to replicate the PSYM=10 functionality in function graphics? Some
undocumented (or buried) keyword that magically does what I would like?

Thanks for any help.

cheers,

paulv

p.s. I note all the plotting examples in the HISTOGRAM documentation are DG. So no help there.
