DGSymbolOptions object

The DGSymbolOptions object stores values and attributes associated with a symbol plot. The DGSymbolOptions object has no constructor command. Abaqus creates an odbDisplayOptions.symbolOptions member when a display group instance is created, using values from odbDisplay.symbolOptions.
