Dear Prof. Ripley,Thanks for your reply. This is one of the main points of supporting semi-transparent colours. You haven't told us your platform or graphics device (see the posting guide), but plotting with something like col=rgb(0,0,0,0.2) may work. I am working on Ubuntu Linux. and I tried the suggested approach but got an empty plot and the following warning message: In plot.xy(xy, type, ...) : semi-transparency is not supported on this device: reported only once per page Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Use a device that supports transparency: X11() ought to on a Linux box, pdf() does everywhere.
Many thanks, Aditya On Thu, 27 Jan 2011, Aditya Bhagwat wrote: Dear all, When making a plot with the command plot(xVector, yVector), there are many points that collide on the same place in the plot. In order to make this plot clearer, I have been looking for a way to colour the points based on the number of points that fall onto each other. If only one point falls on a particular location, make it gray, if many points fall, make it black. I tried to search the help archives, but didn't find any useful answers. Anyone has any suggestion? Many thanks for your help!
