[BioC] number of variable in svm plot

hi all,

the data set i have consists of

x which is a matrix of 39 cancer patients [rows] and 2000 gene names [colmns]. each cell is the value of the gene for a particular patient. there are two types of cancer people  representedas factor y.


here is the code:

library(e1071)

#load database

 db <- read.csv(file="databases\\colon-cancer\\colon-cancer.csv",head=FALSE,sep=",") 

x = as.matrix(db[,1:(ncol(db)-1)])
  y = as.factor(db[,ncol(db)])

  svmModel = svm(x, y, cost = 10, cachesize=500,  scale=F,
  type="C-classification", kernel="linear" )

my question is :to plot the svm model i need to plot 2 vaiables as y axis and x axis....but according to the nature of my dataset i have about 2000 variables?? does that mean i have to plot only two?? or is there a way to plot all of the 2000 and beable to show how the svm model classify the dataset.
