Thanks, Thomas. It is indeed a very interesting phenomenon. Apparently the discrete structure in the data interacts with the way the data are plotted on a very small scale. I have committed a work-around - it forces rectangles to retain at least their original width/height when snapping t

PS Please forgive my ignorance, but when you say: BTW: you may want to use something like pch=19, cex=0.1 (and maybe add some alpha to get a quick density estimation). I don't know what alpha refers to here. Thanks again. Best wishes, Thomas Cheers, S So I guess it might be related t

Dear Simon, Thank you very much for the very rapid response! rna is not defined in R, can you, please, supply a reproducible example? Apologies for including code that could not be run directly. (I had assumed simulating "similar" data would give the same behaviour, but having done more expe

Thomas, rna is not defined in R, can you, please, supply a reproducible example? From your description I think I know roughly what's going on (Quartz attempts to snap rectangles on pixel boundaries to prevent malignant anti-aliasing effects in image plots and this may somehow interact wit
