[R] Plotting the probability curve from a logit model with 10 predictors

Look at the Predict.Plot and TkPredict functions in the TeachingDemos
package.  These will not plot all 11 dimensions at once, but will plot
2 of the dimensions conditioned on the others.  You can then change
the conditioning to see relationships.

These use base rather than ggplot graphics.
