What have you tried so far?

Do you want base graphics? lattice graphics? gglot2 graphics? or any of them?

I would probably start with the sp and maptools packages, but there
are other tools listed in the spatial task view that may help as well.

You are more likely to receive useful help if you show what you have
tried (in a way that others can copy and paste to try themselves) and
explain what you would like to be different.
