<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial">Hello, I
posted this request about 10 days ago but have had no comments
or responses,
perhaps I was unclear that I wanted help, so I am trying
again.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial">I am making
maps for publication in journal articles using QGIS (3.12) and
Natural Earth
base data. I have two questions:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial">How do I
control the appearance (presence/absence, line style,
labeling) of latitude/longitude
"graticule" lines? I was able to change the name of the
Equator in
the Attribute Table, but not the placement of the label or
other features.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial">I am
placing a series of point markers from an imported Excel file
of decimal
latitude/longitude coordinates, with each point having a place
name and
category (time bins). How do I control the label, size,
symbol, and color of
each point, either by reference to its category or
individually if necessary?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial">I have an
earlier version of such a map made by a colleague in ArcGIS,
which I can send
offline if any of you wishes to see what I am seeking.</span></p>

thanks, Eric Delson (Professor of Anthropology, City
University of New York)</span></p>
