It prints different symbols.

It seemed, that my pch-settings had an effect,
but some symbols were very similar, especially, when
a lot of them are plotted at similar places.


But I also had the effect, that some symbol numbers didn't
print enything, but *after* the loop I used, warnings were
printed.

Do you know how to plot very small dots?
 pch=20 makes dots that are too big for my plot.
Is there a possibility to have more detailed control on the symbols?

Ciao,
