okay bestie, welcome to the GSMK page from NCAR GRAPHICS — yes it's a 3NCARG situation, we love that for us. this is the one that sets the type of polymarker to be used in all your subsequent GPM calls. so like, you pick your marker vibe here, and then every marker you draw after that is serving that vibe. 🎀

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 this was the UNIX version, dated March 1993, and it lives in the NCAR GRAPHICS collection — iconic behavior from a manual page that's older than most of us, honestly. go set your marker type and go off. 👑✨🦋
