[R] Plot table of counts

[Greg Snow]

The image function will plot a rectangle for each cell of a table with the color of the rectangle determined by the value of the rectangle.  Any cells in the table that are NA will not produce a rectangle in the image plot.

Can you make that work for your plot?
