graph with 15 combinations

Dear R helpers,

I have a data set with 4 types (W, C, E & S). Now I have values for all
types plus all possible combinations (the order is unimportant): W, C,
WC, E, WE, CE, WCE, S, WS, CS, WCS, ES, WES, CES & WCES. Ideally I would
like to represent everything in one graph and as concise as possible.
Drawing 4 circles and depicting it as overlap just gives me 13 out of
the 15 possibilities needed (as e.g. depicted here
http://www.psy.ritsumei.ac.jp/~akitaoka/classic9e.html in the graph
"Four circles surrounding illusion").

Does anybody has a nice solution, ideally with a possible solution in R?

Thanks in advance!
Johannes

shows a couple of solutions, not in R, but the ideas could be implemented in R.

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot! That is exactly what I was looking for!

Best wishes

Plot on a torus. Should be trivial in R once you've found the torus

Hi Johannes,
If you want to display the intersections between your 4 types, you might 
find that intersectDiagram in the plotrix package will serve your 
purpose. It departs from the Venn diagram approach to display an array 
of rectangles, the widths of which are proportional to the number of 
members of each set and intersection.
