The MapBasicSymbol element includes three distinct subtypes, each specified by the type attribute. You can define one of the following symbol types.

MapBasicFontSymbol. Uses a range of pre-defined fonts to define a symbol as shown above. For images of the supported fonts and their symbols, see MapBasic Font Symbol Codes
MapBasic30Symbol. Uses a range of standard vector symbols. For images of the supported symbols, see MapInfo 3.0 Symbol Codes
MapBasicBitmapSymbol. Uses a range of pre-defined bitmap images to define a symbol.
