shape

The twelve markers `plotshape` can draw: `xcross`, `cross`, `triangleup`, `triangledown`, `flag`, `circle`, `arrowup`, `arrowdown`, `labelup`, `labeldown`, `square` and `diamond`. Written `shape.triangleup` and so on. The interpreter records which member you named and leaves the drawing to the chart.
