Markers

ePiX markers are called by name: \begin{center}\vbox{\input{dots.eepic} }\end{center} 

  spot(P pt);  dot(P pt);   ddot(P pt);
               box(P pt);   bbox(P pt);  
  ring(P pt);  circ(P pt);
spot and (d)dot are solid dots that cannot be colored. box and bbox are solid, colorable squares. A ring is colorable and transparent, while a circ is uncolorable and opaque. Markers in the same column are the same size, and each column is 1.5 times the diameter of the next. The diameter of a dot (hence that of all the above markers) is set with dot_size(diam). The argument, 3 by default, is a number of pt. The glyphs listed in Table 2.1 are available via the command 
  marker(P pt, <MARKER TYPE>);

Table 2.1: ePiX's marker types.
\begin{table}\begin{center} %% \input{marker.eepic} \end{center} \end{table}
