With StatsPlots.jl it is possible to change the marker styles and/or the line styles in the density plots:

However, for the scatter series type, AFAIK there seems to be no way to control the minimum spacing between the markers (see also [this post](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/is-there-a-simpler-way-to-plot-less-points/75786/6)).
