Dear Paul, Thanks. Redrawing the points solves it for the minimal example, but what happens if you have plot(.., type="b") like below? Actually, originally I wanted to use just grid (without mixing it with base graphics), but I couldn't find an equivalent for plot(.., type="b"). Also, later on,

Re: [R] Background color in a grid plot seems to interfere with plot()

Same reason. grid() is part of base graphics, which are incompatible with grid graphics. Perhaps you want grid.grill(), which you could find out about in the grid graphics vignette mentioned earlier. --- Jeff Newmiller

Re: [R] Background color in a grid plot seems to interfere with plot()

Dear Jeff, Thanks for helping. I thought that gridBase would take care of using simple 'graphics' and grid plots (?) I tried grid.grill, but it's not so trivial to set it up such that the grid is drawn at the axis ticks. Cheers, Marius Jeff Newmiller writes: > Same reason. > > grid() is pa
