Thanks Thomas. With boxes, I am limited to having the points at the 
centre of the box (unlike with fsteps, where it is to the right). Or is 
there another way?

I have the difficulty that my samples are at irregular intervals, so it 
isn't possible to just shift the boxes to the left as a workaround.
