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

[Henrique Barbosa]

Dear Jeffrey and all,

Please forget my previous messages as I had a buggy script.
If anyone is interested, these commands control the markers
used in a scatter plot:

'set line #color'
'set cmark #marktype'
'set digsiz #size'

where #color and #marktype are integers corresponding to a given
color and mark type. #size is a real number and with values between 0.1 to 0.2
markers are not too small nor too big.
