[R] 2d plot with modification of plotting symbol to indicate third dimension.

[Sarah Goslee]

You don't give an example, but in general you can use a vector for cex with
the values proportional to the third variable.

Same goes for color: col can be a vector, not just a single value.

This has been discussed before on-list, and fairly recently.

How can I plot weight vs. age and indicate the value of muscle mass for each value weight-age pair by making the plot point proportional to the subject's muscle mass?
