Yes, that is exactly the case.

To use the graphics from the original nlme library we would need to
have trellis-like functions available in R or to rewrite all the graphics
functions in nlme for R.  At one time there was talk of implementing
trellis-like functions in R but there does not seem to be much
progress on that.  It may be time to consider the "rewriting to use
existing R graphics facilities" approach.  Right now we are working on
the implementation of the numerical methods.  It is unlikely that
anything in the graphics area will be changed soon.
