I would like to guarantee that point that are far from the centroid
for their group are plotted last. This way they will be visible
because they won't be buried under a pile of points from another
group.
As it stands, it looks like scatterplot.matrix (and maybe other
plotting functions) lay down a group at a time, in order, so that
the first group is most likely to be buried under later groups. I
try to sort factor levels so that the biggest groups go first, and
that helps a little, but it isn't the complete solution I'm looking
for.
Thanks in advance.
