Any updates on dot-distance in Plots? I’m using the latest version of Plots, with the default backend (GR). The dot distance is so small that it almost looks like a solid line…

It doesn’t look like that to me, and by increasing the linewidth it seems clearer to me:

with:

```julia-repl
julia> using Plots

julia> plot(sin; linestyle=:dot, linewidth=3)

```
