Hello Bill, sorry for my late answer.
I had not thought about this possibility for coloring the symbols, it's
obviously easier, thank you.
I had the link to the symbols commands, and so I had already changed that
as in my previous message, but here are a lot of info that I'll use for the
other symbols.
By and thank you again, now Landolt data are a pleasure to be used.
