PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
 
    This program will plot an object at any location on the graphic
    device. It uses Normal, Map and Grid coordinates. See the help
    file on the specific parameters, since the definitions change
    for each shape specified.

 
EXAMPLES
 
    1.  Plot the text string "This is plot 1" centered at normal
	coordinates .5;.5, in color 15, with a filled box of
	color 25 around the text.

	DEVICE  = xw
	PANEL   = 0
	SHAPE   = text
	INFO    = 1/3////c/hw/This is plot 1
	LOCI    = .5;.5
	LINE    = 15///25
	CTYPE   = f

    2.	Plot a square centered at grid location 40;23, with radius
	2 grid points, and rotated 45 degrees. Use color 8 for the
	unfilled square, and use line type 5.

	SHAPE   = regpoly
	INFO    = 5/2/4/45
	LOCI    = @40;23
	LINE    = 8
	CTYPE   = c
