Yes that is probably possible, however, using a defined symbol for something else is probably not the right answer. Therion allows you to define your own points.
From the wiki
point u:xxxx where xxxx is the name of a user defined symbol that you have defined or referenced in a layout. The actual definition seems to be beyond me at the moment, let me sleep on it, but hopefully a more skillful person will have the answer.

Hello everyone -
A common convention around Missouri cave mapping is to indicate the height change of a floor step by enclosing the value in a square box. This is not the same as ceiling height which is enclosed in a circle or oval.
I have been using the object "point height" for this. It works except there is nothing around the value. It just hangs out in space, so to speak.
I used the "-d" option to dump all the MetaPost and TeX code. I find no references in any of the files to objects of type height or passage-height, which implies that these two objects are not generated by MetaPost.
Is it possible to redefine the "point height" symbol so it draws a square box around the value?
Thanks! -- Bill Gee
