[R] Book on R graphics

      The first three chapters of Paul Murrell (2006) R Graphics 
(Chapman & Hall), which Marcin cited, provides a very detailed and 
useful overview of traditional graphics in R.  The rest of the book is 
devoted to 'lattice' and 'grid' graphics;  unfortunately, I have so far 
not been able to translate that text into improved, routine use of those 
capabilities. 

      You may also wish to consider Deepayan Sarkar (2008) Lattice:  
Multivariate Data Visualization with R (Springer).  I have not read this 
book, but it looks like it may make it much easier for someone to master 
'lattice' graphics from self-study of a book. 

      Hope this helps.
