[R] How to plot a scatter-plot matrix?

[Gavin Simpson]

Fred,

[from help on pairs() ]:

...
Arguments:

        x: the coordinates of points given as columns of a matrix.

So yes, pairs will do what you ask.  See ?pairs for more info.

Also you might consider the alternative function from the lattice package:

 > library(lattice)	#load lattice graphics package
 > ?splom		#help for splom()

Which is called differently using a formula interface.
