In R, the plot() function takes a pch argument that controls the appearance of the points in the plot.  I'm making scatterplots with tens of thousands of points and prefer a small, but not too small dot.  Basically, I find pch='.' to be too small, but pch=19 to be too fat.  Is there something in the middle or some way to scale the dots down somehow?
