[R] Venn diagram

[Paul Artes]

I'm really glad to see this topic come up. Area-proportional Venn diagrams
are a phantastic way to visualize agreement. For the 2-rater scenario this
is straightforward; here are two examples from my own work that were done in
R. (I'm far too embarrassed to enclose the code).

 For 3 (or more!) variables, it becomes tricky, but Chow and Ruskey have
solved this recently (see link below).

I think there is even a Java applet for demonstration purposes.

It would be phantastic to have a good R-implementation of this...
Unfortunately my own skills are several log units below what's required. I
have written to Chow and Ruskey before but unfortunately not heard anything.
Anyone up for the job??

Best wishes

Paul
