I would like to find out if there is an Xlib command
similar to the GKS command gpolymarker.  I have tried
using the XDrawPoints command, but the points that are
plotted to the screen are barely visible.  I was wondering
if there is a way to resize the plotted point, or even
change it's representation to a X, * or even a hollow circle.

I haven't been able to locate anything in the documentation
that would suggest that these capabilities exist, so I would
appreciate it if anyone has tried to do something of a similar
nature.

I have thought of just placing the text symbol for the 'o' to the
screen, but text characters are not centered about an x,y location,
they are merely placed to the right of the specified starting
location. (At least this was the case in GKS...)

Thanx in advance!
