Plot this text at each station location.

mk=type

Plot this type of marker at each station location. Possible values for type are: dot, pnt, plus, star, crcl, x, sqr, tri

%format

Specifies the printed format of the data. This is a full C format such as "%7.2f".

+.012	tl	tc	tr
y=0	cl	cc	cr
-.012	bl	bc	br
-.02	ll	lc	lr

xy=x:y

Specifies the absolute plotting offset. The X and Y values are multiplied by .012.

sf=file

Specifies the symbol file to use in interpretting the data. The string data is passed to the symbol plotting routine and this file is used to plot the actual symbol.

sk=skip

Specifies a plotting skip factor. If not all values are to be plotted, this skip factor can be specified to only plot every skip values.
