Specifying Marker Types for Polymarkers

The five GKS Marker types, point, plus, asterisk, circle and cross ('GPOINT', 'GPLUS', 'GAST', 'GOMARK', 'GXMARK'), are demonstrated in gif. For example:

CALL GSMK(GPOINT) - sets the marker type to point

Markers may be scaled in size by calling GSMKSC. For example:

CALL GSMKSC(3.5)
will scale the following markers by 3.5 times. The implementation of this function is workstation-dependent. In particular, markers drawn on terminals by hardware may only exist in certain fixed sizes.
