Binned line plot

I have a scatter plot with 10000 points.
So you have numeric x and y values.
I would like to add a line that bins every 50 points and connects the average of each bin.
What is the rule to be applied to form these bins? You may want to look at ?cut and ?quantile
I'm looking for something similar to line type "m" in Stata.
Many. perhaps most. of us do not know what that means. People complain about the help files for R but they are crystal clear compared with the help files I have seen for Stata, so I do not intend searching those out.
With this dataset of 10000 points, I would also like to bin the data and make boxplots at certain intervals,
... of what?
so that I have a set of boxplots to represent each bin. I would also like the width of each box to be proportional to the number of points in each bin.
How can I make these plots? Is there a simple package to use?
Probably any of the three plotting paradigms can be used but you need to describe the problem in an unambiguous manner.
