So your problem has nothing to do with the subject?
The behaviour of plotting symbols in matplot() is documented in the
help:
pch: character string or vector of 1-characters or integers for plotting
characters, see points. The first character is the plotting-character
for the first plot, the second for the second, etc. The default is the
digits (1 through 9, 0) then the letters.
So, what is your problem ???
