# LevelScheme Ticks hidden behind DensityPlot or SmoothDensityHistogram

I'm having a problem where the LevelScheme ticks are hidden by my SmoothDensityHistogram.

In the above figure, I am sure that the ticks are there since you can see the ones that are not hidden by the discrete DensityHistogram in the figure below.

It seems that LevelScheme is ignoring PlotRangePadding -> Scaled[0.1] since it's calling the plot with RawGraphics.

It also seem to be a common issue since a quick LevelScheme search on StackExchange shows a few graphs with the same issue:

Perhaps adding some transparency to my ColorFunction -> Function[{height}, ColorData["Temperature"][height]] but I can't find out how to do it.

Any help is appreciated.

• Thank @DavidG.Stork. It looks like Method -> {"FrameInFront" -> False} is what I need. Do you know how to use with the LevelScheme package? – sguillot Jun 5 '15 at 1:29

After contacting the developer of the LevelScheme package, there is an easy fix to this problem. I just need to add Layer->-1 in the RawGraphics of LevelScheme. So:

      RawGraphics[SmoothDensityHistogram[...], Layer->-1],


This places the raw graphics below the frames.
