Topic:
How to change the look of a well symbol.

Description:
For example, symbol #85 is a circle with the bottom half filled in and you 
want to change it to a circle with the top half filled in.     

Solution:
IESX reads an ASCII file that defines each symbol.  The file is
$GF_PATH/ies_gr/g_symbol.input.  This file can be edited to make new symbols.

Changing this file is not supported.
Errors made in editing this file are not reported by IESX.
IESX must be exited then restarted for any changes to take affect.

An example of symbol 85 is:
STARTSYM 85  
ARCTO 0.000000 6.283185 1.000000
FILLED
ARCTO 0.000000 -3.278183 1.000000
ENDSYM

Changing this to the below example will fill in the top half of the circle.
STARTSYM 85  
ARCTO 0.000000 6.283185 1.000000
FILLED
ARCTO 0.000000 3.278183 1.000000
ENDSYM


This changes well symbols for IESX only.  It is possible to have a mismatch
between what is displayed in IESX and what the GeoFrame Borehole editor sees.
The well symbols for the borehole editor are bitmaps and are in $GF_PATH/gf_icons.
