SETMSZ

       SUBROUTINE  SETMSZ (SCALE)
 C$    (Set Marker Size)
 C$    Set the current marker height scale factor to "SCALE".  The
 C$    default standard marker height  will be multiplied by  this
 C$    factor, allowing the marker to  be made smaller or  larger,
 C$    as  required.   Markers   always  appear   at  a   standard
 C$    orientation and size -- unrotated, centered at the  current
 C$    point,  in  the   view  surface  plane,   and  of  a   size
 C$    corresponding to harware  character size (about  0.01 on  a
 C$    scale  of  0..1).   Markers  are  not  affected  by   world
 C$    coordinate   object   modelling   transformations   or   by
 C$    perspective or rotation.
 C$
 C$    Markers 1-5 are standard in all CORE implementations.   The
 C$    remaining  ones   are  implementation-dependent.    Markers
 C$    currently  supported  are  taken  from  the  Hershey   font
 C$    digitizations.   the   Hershey   numbers   are   given   in
 C$    parentheses below  for each  marker.  Marker  heights  have
 C$    been adjusted to make them all roughly the same size.
 C$
 C$    The CORE proposal did not provide for user specification of
 C$    marker  heights.   Experience  has  shown  this  to  be  an
 C$    unsatisfactory limitation, and this routine is provided  to
 C$    remedy this deficiency.
