for background please see prior posts More on Horizon Charts, Application of Horizon Plots, Horizon Plot Already Available, and Cubism Horizon Charts in R
There are three primary graphics routes in R (base graphics, lattice, and ggplot2), and each have their zealots. Last time in More on Horizon Charts, I used lattice and latticeExtra.

Please let me know if you have a solution.
