Hey everyone,

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?

Many thanks in advance

If you sum 2020+2021+2022 the average is lower than the three previous years, and taking into account that the rise could be due to a lot of people postponing their stays abroad because of COVID, I'd say this data is not that clear. It would be interesting to see how this trend evolves is 2023.

I'm seeing this not as a rapid rise, but a two year dip in an otherwise gradual rise due to covid.

Indeed there may not be any rise at all when you consider that some of the last year are students finishing up their academic careers overseas. In other words what percentage of those students would have gone overseas in the previous two years. Uncover that and you have interesting data. Right now all you are telling me is that people dont travel during a global pandemic.

The number of Indian students going abroad witnessed a substantial jump of 68% in 2022. At nearly 7.5 lakh, it was the highest in the last six years, as per the data shared by the government in the ongoing budget session of the parliament.
