We can use the
mlabsize()
(marker
label size) option to control the size of
the markers. In this example, we make
the markers small. Some of the sizes
you could choose include
small

mlabsize(*.6)
We can also specify the
mlabsize()
as
a relative size, a multiple of the original
size. In this example, the labels are .6
times their normal size.

mlabangle(45)
The
mlabangle()
(marker label angle)
option can be used to control the angle
of the marker label. 0 degrees indicates
horizontal text, 90 degrees vertical text,
180 degrees reverse horizontal text, and
270 degrees reverse vertical text. You
can also specify negative degrees (for
example,
90 degrees is the same as
270 degrees). See
Styles : Angles

for more details.
