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

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!

Aditya
