I recently ran into related problems. I was looking for a way to do pairs() with hexbin in each panel. I found pairs.CSP() in `rflowcyt', but even the example code in ?pairs.CSP failed. (That example code is wrapped in `if (interactive()) ...', so R CMD check would not have picked it up.) The culprit is that hexagons() is no where to be found. I suspect this is caused by hexbin version incompatibility? Can anyone suggest a way to do what I want (scatterplot matrix with hexbin panels)?
