| Mark height dh | Real number equal to, or greater than 0. | Specify the height of the rectangle of a symbol mark shape. Specify this if the Mark shape field is set to Open rectangle or Closed rectangle. |
| Chamfer S1 | Real number equal to, or greater than 0. | Specify the chamfer length at the lower-left corner of a symbol mark shape. |
| Chamfer S2 | Real number equal to, or greater than 0. | Specify the chamfer length at the lower-right corner of a symbol mark shape. |
| Chamfer S3 | Real number equal to, or greater than 0. | Specify the chamfer length at the upper-right corner of a symbol mark shape. |
| Chamfer S4 | Real number equal to, or greater than 0. | Specify the chamfer length at the upper-left corner of a symbol mark shape. |
The value to be specified for chamfer is the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle.
