I was going to use hsv(h=1, v=1, s=exp(d/d0) )
(some people believe that red light [ie hsv(h=1, ....)] penetrates
further
through mist than other colours. I can now test this !-)
The other idea I had was to plot points with less than the median
depth with big symbols and the others with small symbols.
That would seem to be a nice nonparametric way to do it.
Any other ideas?
very best wishes to everyone
