Are there any other packages for doing Venn diagrams in R besides the limma package?
Anyone got tips?
Here's some notes on doing Venn diagrams with the limma packages.

Venn diagrams are a very commonly used graphing technique that illustrates levels of overlap between groups in data. They can be created in R using code written as part of the Bioconductor Project. We are following the directions supplied here for installing a package for linear models for microarray data ( limma ).
In making a Venn diagram, we are often interested in the intersection of two sets—that is, what items are shared between categories. In this diagram, the teal area (where blue and green overlap) represents the intersection of A and B, or A ∩ B.
Venn Diagram ComponentsAreas that don't overlap show differences between sets, and a complement set refers to everything not shared by a particular set or sub-set.
At the project list view, you can click “R Packages” link to open the 'Manage R Package” dialog. Click the “Install New Packages” tab, type in “VennDiagram” in the input field, and click “Install”. You will see a success message if the installation goes well.
