Hello, I am plotting a kernel density, and the right-end of the plot is hard to see, especially when shared on the web with reduced resolution. I am using this command

> q=Gadfly.plot(U, x=U.x, y=U.density, Geom.point, Theme(default\_color=“dark red”, point\_size=10pt , background\_color=color(“white”),g  
> rid\_color=color(“white”)))

Here is the plot

 ![density_gaussian](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/c/9/c908ea8715798a38912c46f3f565ac22c62cafb9.png)

There are 2 peaks on the right, actually. Is there a way to make them more visible, without giving the false impression there are more points there?  
Thanks

If I’m not mistaken the white-ish zones are actually filled with points, because their border is white  
Maybe you want to use a line plot instead, with a color-coding on the distance between each points for example?

This is the perfect solution, I didn’t think enough, of course a gaussian kernel, it makes sense to plot as a LINE not as disjoint points. Thanks 🙂
