While I fully agree that some manner of grouping may be ideal, the current numeric codes are (IIRC) based on the Hershey font symbol codes. One possiblity would be to add a series of pre-defined constants to the PLplot API which reference specific symbols. I added something like this for a few symbols in the OCaml API. Another option may be to allow users to provide a specific Unicode symbol to draw by name.
