You mention that your space-group is symmorphic (meaning that you have 
no glide-planes, screw axis ...). In such a case, the program irrep 
should work.
When the space group is not symmorphic, the use of dots (or open 
circles) is better, because the lines will not be related to symmetry 
arguments.
What is your space group?

Yes, in such a case, the best is to use dots (or open circles). You can 
also use lines, but in the case of
