.... I can't get this to happen, but i don't have access to a mac at the
moment [I tried it using R 1.4.0 / mgcv 0.6.* under unix]. I wonder if the
problem is Mac specific?

- sorry, jittering's not implemented, but it should be easy to get a
jittered plot. Your model object will contain all the raw data in
mymodel.gam$x (in addition to any dummy variables implied by the model
formula). You can jitter these yourself before calling plot.gam(). e.g. to
jitter the second covariate:

mymodel.gam$x[2,]<-jitter(mymodel.gam$x[2,])

[although you probably want to control the amount of jittering using the
`amount' argument]. I'll add adding a jitter option to the mgcv "to
do" list.
