Offset symbols: When selected, the symbols plot without overlap, away from the original locations. The original location is marked with a small symbol and a line joins the original position and the relocated symbol. Care should be taken when choosing the symbol size, because if the point density is too high, all the points will get pushed to the outside edge and your plot will look like a hedgehog (it also takes a lot longer!).

Note: The mask channel GXVV is used for plotting precedence; those points with mask = dummy are plotted first, then overwritten with the non-masked values, so you don’t get “good” points being covered up by masked values. The view scaling is not altered with any projection. The base view is best as the input.
