Sounds like a job for "trellising" using ?xyplot or
"faceting" using
ggplot in the gglplot2 package (two terms for the same idea, but
different API's for implementation). I suggest you check the R Graph
Gallery at:
http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/
for ideas. I'm sure you'll find both design AND code for
implementation that will suit your needs there.
