Thirty or forty sheets of correlations sounds like too much work however you slice it. If they were grouped in some logical way I agree you could make them palatable with 'plot' or with the magnificent ggplot; the latter is one of the few things that I can happily play with all day...

Yeah... but for 8 variables, there are n choose 2 = n(n-1)/2 = 36 covariates. My spidey sense tells me there is one scatter plot per page.
ggplot vs base & lattice in your experience? I have used lattice before but not in a few years, and I use base all the time. Don't have time to muck around with
Plausible. Or it could be 30-40 arbitrary pairings with no variable used twice.
ggplot: came for the Tufte-type aethestic, stayed for the graph grammars. I have a lot more experience with ggplot than base&lattice since I switched so early but wiser heads tell me that they are similar in capability. I just find ggplot easier to work with and look at.
