[R] Specifying the color of points and the plot symbol to be used on a graph

[John Sorkin]

R 2.12.2
Windows 7

I would like to know how to specify the color used in plotting points on a scatter plot, generated using plot(x,y) and how I can specify the particular symbol used. I would like, for example, to plot some points as blue circles and other points a red squares. If someone will tell me how to specify the symbol and color used when plotting points, I can overlay graphs [par(new=TRUE] to get the two colors I desire.

Thanks,
John
