Thanks, Jeremy!
Adding a new symbol was not very trivial, but it worked.
However, any filled symbol scales together with its thickness, thus the very
large symbols are still noticeably thick. :-P
Setting the thickness to zero (i.e. making two paths of the same radius) works,
you get minimum possible thickness the displaying canvas supports, but until
you export it to pdf, for example. Then you get no symbols (thickness is
zero... and these are not lines, these are filled paths that are quite not easy
to correct in any other vector software). Hence, lines would be perfect in this
case...
Nice weekend,
Sergey

Hi Jeremy,
I was wondering if it easy enough to find a workaround or implement the
following...
There are filled and non-filled (or "line-drawn") symbols in Veusz,
however, one can assign a colour map only to the filled ones.
Is possible to switch to colour-enabled drawing of the "line" symbols if
one selects NOT to use filling?
My intention is to make an xy plot with variable sizes and colours with
hollow coloured circles in it (there's a lot of data, and 'circlehole'
symbol is still too fat...).
It can be implemented. I'll need to look at the code to see what needs
to be done. It's also trivial to add circlehole2 with a bigger hole (I
assume you disabled the marker line, though), which might help.
A workaround would be to plot white circles on top of coloured circles,
though this wouldn't work if the coloured symbols are overlapping.
Another workaround would be to add your own custom plot symbol, though
this isn't easy currently - you need to write you own plugin defining
the symbol.
Also, is it easy to add colouring to the xy-plot in the ternary graph?
I'll have a look at that...
Jeremy
