This is just to emphasise that nothing restricts you to two distinct

>> After reading -help graph matrix- and few web searches, I was unable to find an answer. I would like to highlight a specifc scatter (or more than one) in -graph matrix-. The option -text(#y #x "text")- does not appear to work. The option -msymbol()- applies symultaneously to all scatters. I presume I could go the longer route of -graph combine- but I would use it as a last option. Any suggestion?
