annotate NEWS @ 30253:20fd3c03fd74

Add new plot marker styles '|' and '_' (bug #61350) * NEWS: Announce addition. * gl-render.cc (make_marker_list): Add instructions for drawing '|' and '_' markers. * graphics.cc (radio_values::radio_values): Add special case in constructor from string of options to parse '|||' and return value '|'. * graphics.in.h (line, patch, scatter, surface): Add '|' and '_' to marker property for graphics objects which have this property. * __pltopt__.m: Add '|' and '_' to list of possible markers in input validation. * __gnuplot_draw_axes__.m: Add FIXME note about implementing these two markers in gnuplot. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this as it is not one of the defined point styles.
