ggplot2
In both plots the points look different, but why?
mya <- data.frame(a=1:100)
ggplot() +
  geom_path(data=mya, aes(x=a, y=a, colour=2, size=seq(0.1,10,0.1))) +
  geom_point(data=mya, aes(x=a, y=a, colour=1, size=1)) +
  theme_bw() +
  theme(text=element_text(size=11))
ggplot() +
  geom_path(data=mya, aes(x=a, y=a, colour=2, size=1)) +
  geom_point(data=mya, aes(x=a, y=a, colour=1, size=1)) +
  theme_bw() +
  theme(text=element_text(size=11))
