It's a bit of a hack-job, but this might get you started:
d <- structure(c("A", "A", "A", "B", "A", "A", "C", "C", "A", "D",
"C", "C"), .Dim = 3:4)
plot(0, type = "n", xlim = c(0,ncol(d)), ylim = c(0, nrow(d)), xaxt = "n",
? ? yaxt ="n",xlab = NA,ylab = NA)
ytop <- (nrow(d) - row(d)) + 1
ybottom <- (nrow(d) - row(d))
xleft <- col(d)-1
xright <- col(d)
cols <- rainbow(length(unique(c(d))))
rect(xleft = xleft, xright = xright, ytop = ytop, ybottom = ybottom,
? ? col = cols[as.integer(factor(d))])
text(xleft + 1/2, ybottom + 1/2, labels = d, col = "white")
Some hints for a new poster:
i) Always cc the list: it gives you opportunities for your questions
to be seen by a much wider audience which will get you quicker and
better answers.
ii) Use dput() to make plain-text representations of your data for
easy emailing (like how i set up d above)
Best,
Michael

What I would like to do is to plot the matrix A: "A" "B" "C" "D" "A" "A" "C" "C" "A" "A" "A" "C" into a image e.g. ?with the following colours "Yellow" "Blue" "Green" "Black" "Yellow" "Yellow" "Green" "Green" "Yellow" "Yellow" "Yellow" "Green" I have no idea on how to do it, until now I've been only working with numeric and dates plots.

I may be confused, but this seems ill-defined since, in the example, the color corresponds to a numerical value: characters are only there as labels. Do you intend to map the characters onto some numerical spectrum? If so, how? As a side note, one of the best places to get visualization ideas in my experience has been the R Graph Gallery. It's often worth a look and comes with code examples for all the entries: perhaps you can find some attempts at "graphing" character data there.

Hi, I am looking for options to plot the following type of matrices: "A" "B" "C" "D" "A" "A" "C" "C" "A" "A" "A" "C" as a image like this: http://www.phaget4.org/R/image002.jpg
