I've tried using smaller markers, adding jitter, and using open

circle markers but it seems that having markers have some

transparency would be better."

 

The best solution to the problem that I know of is to use hollow

(e.g. Oh) and thin-line (e.g. +) markers. But if you have several

overlapping plots there is an inevitable problem of overcrowding.

 

Hollow and thin-line markers should be black. One way to obtain

that is to use the lean1 or lean2 scheme. Find the schemes by:

  findit lean scheme

 

Hope this helps.
