I'm new to R and am trying to perform a simple, yet problematic task. I
have two variables for which I would like to measure the correlation and
plot versus each other. However, I have ~30 million data points
measurements of each variable. I can read this into R from file and
produce a plot with plot(x0, x1) but as you would expect, its not pretty
to look at and produces a postscript file of about 700MB. A google
search found a few mentions of doing density plots but they seemed to
assume you already have the density matrix. Can anyone point me in the
right direction, keeping in mind that I am a complete R newbie.
