Is this a pixelization issue? If the line is an odd number of pixels wide and the point is an even number of pixels across, then there is just no way to line them up. It should go away with increased resolution, e.g. when plotting to pdf() and printing on a laser printer. > Secondly I cant seem to force the points to appear on top of the arrows > i.e. with the arrows behind the points.
