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