This is the effect I am trying to achieve. I did try the route of overdrawing in white, but decided against it. The reason I haven't used that, is that firstly I wasn't sure if there would be some rounding error in a printer which would cause the background to appear. Secondly, the end of the ticks look weird due to the different line end types: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/sjm217/volatile/r-lineend.png Changing to square caps might help, but I was hoping there would be a nice solution that would let me keep round caps. Any suggestions?
