[gradsusr] scatter plot: how to change markers and colors?

[Henrique Barbosa]

Jeffrey,

Unfortunately "set line" and "set cmark" only work if you are drawing
a marker with "draw mark". They don't work if you are doing a scatter plot.
Here's the important part of my script:

'set gxout scatter'
* data from file 1
'set line 1'
'set cmark 2'
'd varA.1;varB.1
* data from file 2
'set line 1'
'set cmark 3'
'd varA.2;varB.2

Grads completely ignores 'set line' and 'set cmark'!
Any other ideas?

Henrique
