"The last points plotted on graphs obscure the previous points.
I've tried using smaller markers, adding jitter, and using open
circle markers but it seems that having markers have some
transparency would be better."
 
The best solution to the problem that I know of is to use hollow
(e.g. Oh) and thin-line (e.g. +) markers. But if you have several
overlapping plots there is an inevitable problem of overcrowding.
 
Hollow and thin-line markers should be black. One way to obtain
that is to use the lean1 or lean2 scheme. Find the schemes by:
  findit lean scheme
 
Hope this helps.
