Add an attribute to set the point size of the selected point style

Hi,

 

sometimes it woud be useful to have plot symbols available that are larger than the fixed standard size. Hence I suggest providing a plot attribute ATTR_TRACE_POINT_SIZE where one could set the point size (e.g. in pixels)

This Idea is particularly beneficial when presenting data on a projector, or printed on paper and posted for viewing. The current symbol sizes are okay when one person is viewing their monitor, but when presenting, they are usually too small.

I concur.  This would be a useful addition to the Plot function.

It would be really useful to have this feature. The standard setting sometimes make the data points difficult to see, for example, when plotting the measured data and the fit curve together. Thanks.

I agree.  This would be very valuable.  Particularly if you set the size of your plot line to anything greater than 1, then the points are lost entirely.
