NAME:
spd_get_sym.pro
PURPOSE:
This function provides a convenient way to utilize the
USERSYM procedure to create an extended choice of plotting
symbols, and is intended to be used directly with the PSYM
keyword to PLOT, OPLOT, etc.
CALLING SEQUENCE:
Result=spd_get_sym(NUMBER)
INPUTS:
NUMBER - symbol number
0 : dot
1 : filled circle
2 : filled upward triangle
3 : filled downward triangle
4 : filled diamond
5 : filled square
6 : open circle
7 : open upward triangle
8 : open downward triangle
9 : open diamond
10 : open square
11 : plus
12 : X
13 : star
14 : filled rightfacing triangle
15 : filled leftfacing triangle
16 : open rightfacing triangle
17 : open leftfacing triangle
OUTPUTS:
The function returns the symbol number to be used with the
PSYM keyword in the PLOT, OPLOT, etc. commands
SIDE EFFECTS:
The USERSYM procedure is used to create a symbol definition.
EXAMPLE:
To produce a plot using open circles as plotting symbols:
PLOT,X,Y,PSYM=spd_get_sym(6)
