I have not found a method to estimate confidence interval of orthogonal regression. Then I build one using bootstrap. OrthogonalRegression <- function(x, y) {   library("pracma")   xnew <- seq(from=min(x), to=max(x), length.out = 100)   replicate <- 1000   m <- matrix(data=NA, nrow=replicate, ncol=length(xnew))   c <- NULL   d <- NULL   odrx <- odregress(x, y)   for (r in 1:replicate) {     s <- sample(1:length(x), length(x), replace = TRUE)     odr <- odregress(x[s], y[s])     cc <- odr$coeff     c <- c(c, cc[1])     d <- c(d, cc[2])     # Prediction     ynew <- cbind(xnew, 1) %*% cc     m[r, ] <- ynew   }   q <- apply(m, MARGIN=2, FUN=quantile, probs=c(0.025, 0.5, 0.975))   q <- rbind(q, x=xnew)   qb <- quantile(c, probs=c(0.025, 0.5, 0.975))   qa <- quantile(d, prob...

The pch=19 is a circle and secondary plain circle. The pch=16 is only a plain circle. This is what to use for transparency. plot(rep(1, 10) ,rep(1, 10), pch=19, cex=10, col=rgb(.1, .1, .1, 0.01), lwd=5) plot(rep(1, 10) ,rep(1, 10), pch=16, cex=10, col=rgb(.1, .1, .1, 0.01), lwd=5)
