Hello everyone,

I am trying to plot a pixel series in GR which might look something like this:

![Figure_1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/a/0/a09fca70414b3a29463804b0ff0d652a3a736ec3.png)

In `pyplot` it is achieved by adding a `','` in the plot command (something like: `ax.plot(x, y, ',')`). In GR, I am currently achieving this by plotting a scatter plot with extremely small marker size and removing its borders.

Is there any way to do so in GR **natively** (without using the **`markersize`** hack) as we do in pyplot?

```julia
using GR
x = LinRange(0,8π,1000)
plot(x, sin.(x), ".")

```
