Doesnt it do the reverse? i.e. when more than one point falls in the same
place, it shifts them aside so they are all visible. If it can be made to
produce a scaled symbol based on the number of underlying points that would
be cool.That would also be a good time to change its name to 'Custer or
displace' or something.
