setting point sizes when using Gadfly in Julia

In my attempts to practice Julia, I've made a program which draws a bifurcation diagram. My code is as follows:

function bifur(x0,y0,a=1.3,b=0.4,n=1000,m=10000)
    i,x,y=1,x0,y0
    while i < n && abs(x) < m
        x,y = a - x^2 + y, b * x
        i += 1
    end
    if abs(x) < m
        return x
    else
        return 1000
    end
end
la = Float64[];
lx = Float64[];
for a=0:400
    for j = 1:1000
        x0 = rand()
        y0 = rand()
        x = bifur(x0,y0,a/100)
        if x != 1000
            push!(la,a/100) 
            push!(lx,x)
        end
    end
end
using Gadfly
myplot = Gadfly.plot( x=la, y=lx , Scale.x_discrete, Scale.y_continuous, Geom.point)
draw(PNG("myplot.png",10inch,8inch),myplot)

The output I get is this image: enter image description here

In order to make my plot look more like this: enter image description here I need to be able to set point sizes to as small as one pixel. Then by increasing the iteration length I should be able to get a better bifurcation diagram. Does anyone know how to set the point sizes in Gadfly diagrams in Julia?

If changing Theme values seems like too much, you can do it in the plot call directly. You need to provide an array of the same size as your x and y.

using Gadfly

x = rand(10)
y = rand(10)

p = plot(x=x, y=y, size=fill(2px, length(x)))

[Just to encapsulate the comments as an answer...]

Gadfly's Theme defaults can be changed. In particular, point_size is probably what you are looking for.

For changing the automatic plot scale/range settings, have a look at Gadfly's Scale params.
