Thats great just what I was trying to do.

I'm not familiar with the plots you mention, but the following is a quick attempt to create the plot you describe.

data<-data.frame(
  org=1:10,
  q1=sample(1:10,replace=T),
  q2=sample(1:10,replace=T),
  q3=sample(1:10,replace=T))

# This generates a random data set like the one you describe. It looks like this:

#   org q1 q2 q3
#1    1  9  1  4
#2    2  1  2  1
#3    3  1  3  7
#4    4 10  9  6
# ...

n<-ncol(data)-1 # NUMBER OF ORGANIZATIONS

new.mat<-apply(data[,-1],2,function(x){xtabs(~factor(x,levels=1:10))})

plot(rep(1:n,each=10),rep(1:10,n),
  pch=16,
  cex=c(new.mat),
  xaxt="n",
  xlab="Question",
  ylab="Score")
axis(1,at=1:n)

Instead of cex=c(new.mat), you can supply a function of new.mat, say cex=f(new.mat) to specify the size of the dots.

Hope that helps.

    Hi,

    Fairly new to R - have done basic plots but now faced with
    plotting a matrix/table of results -I know what I want but cannot
    find out how to do it.

    Basically have individual questions ( x) to which an organization
    can rate themselves 1-10 (y) what I want to show is a
    matrix/density type plot (like the matrix corrolation plots I have
    seen on R graph site) showing for eac question (x) a circle or
    shape of varying size and/or colour to represent the number of
    organisations rating themselves for each value of y.

    Hope this makes sense, any advice would be gratefully received.

    HH
