jitter is a good idea, but in this case, the problem is the density of
the ploted points themselves. Just adding noise do much in this case.

[So that it's more clear what the problem is, I've stuck a graph up at
http://rzlab.ucr.edu/images/test.png. Ideally you should be able to
decern where the red region stops underneath the green [while at the
same time seeing that the green has outliers below it.]

There is a mode in photoshop called multiply that does something
similar, but I'm not sure if there is a postscript mode that does the
same thing. [Editing the postscript file itself is not a problem if
that's the only solution...]
