I know mosaicplot (package vcd) can handle for this dataset.
I want to plot that dataset which different colors for age, income and gender.
How can I do that? Or are there any others package?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You don't see very much in that plot, do you? 16 observations is not too
much for 6-way information.

            

      
      
      
    

        
Do you want to have a color code which codes all three variables at the
same time? I wouldn't have a straightforward solution for that. But if you
want to shade with respect to a single variable, that might be possible.
You can use
  mosaicplot(mytable, col = ...)
and shade with respect to the last margin added.

            

      
      
      
    

        
We have a much more flexible implementation of mosaicplots (written in
grid) which will (hopefully) soon be released that allows the
specification of arbitrary color patterns in mosaicplots. If you're
interested, contact me offlist and we'll send you a devel-snapshot.
