I recently tried to visualise some of my research findings in a classic two-dimensional plot in R. Problematically, some of my observations share the exact same values for both the X- and Y-dimension, leading to a perfect overlap in the graphic.
I would like to fix said overlap, making sure that all dots are clearly visible. Whilst this should not be too much of an issue, for some reason, I can't seem to find a workable solution that makes all dots visible.
Does anyone have any design ideas or similar how to plot my observations in a better way that makes all overlapping data points visible?

Hey everyone,

Many thanks in advance
