Hiram,

Thank you so much for your reply. Really appreciate it. That helps. As 
you mentioned, the image looks better where the pt density is high. But 
it is the location where few points can be found some where I'd like the 
pts to be larger.

Is there any place in the code to change the size? I've been trying to 
dig around but not seeing sth inspiring.
