%DXF_MARKER Draw a set of markers.
%   DXF_MARKER(FID, markertype, X, Y, Z) writes markers into DXF file. 
%    FID is a valid DXFLIB structure created with DXF_OPEN routine. 
%    markertype is a valid marker type of the following type:
%     'o' - circle,
%     'x' - x sign,
%     '+' - plus sign,
%     '^' - triangle.
%    X, Y and Z are vectors or matrices of the same size containing 
%    coordinates of points in 3D space. The default size of marker is 1.
%
%   DXF_MARKER(..., SIZE) allows to specify size of marker(s). If SIZE is 
%    a scalar, all markers have the same size according to the SIZE value 
%    specified. If SIZE is a matrix of size equal to X, Y or Z, each
%    marker is rescaled according to corresponding SIZE value.
%
%   See also DXF_POLYLINE, DXF_POINT, DXF_PRIMITIVE.
