<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I'm having a minor problem plotting a circular polymarker. I'm using index=4 for the marker index, which should be a hollow circle, but when I plot it larger than ~ 0.03 the shape starts to deteriorate into a 16-sided polygon. Is there a way to ensure that the circular marker retains its shape when it is plotted larger than normal? I've attached a .png of the figure I'm trying to create, and here is the snippet of code that deals with the portion of the plot that I'm having problems with:</div><div><br></div><div>*******************</div><div><br></div><div><div> ;-------</div><div> ;
