Thomas,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Is that the reason why the above appears not to work i.e. the size issue? I
will try changing everything to a positive number to see if that works.

As a side issue, do the positive/negative numbers have a bearing on the
anchor point of the symbol or is that always in the centre of the symbol?

Many thanks.
