(typical Martin's answer: ``You don't want what you are asking for'').
No, seriously, I think using sunflowerplot() {as recommended by
Chambers et al (1983) see help} is a bit better {-> ?sunflowerplot and examples}
Other solutions to the same problem:
b. use jittering jitter()
c. use a ``2d density estimate'' and plot that
1) e.g. use image on a 2d histog
2) better use the "hexbin" package from bioconductor,
this uses Dan Carr's Hexagons instead of squares and (some
more ideas).
