- PSTricks can do this -- if you have a PostScript printer. There are
- about 10 point symbols to choose from. You can also connect the
- points with lines or interpolated curves. The next version will have
- nice high-level macros for axes.
-
- PSTricks is available from the /pub directory at Princeton.EDU,
- and other archives.
