You could also write your own function, e.g. the following is not
very sophisticated, e.g. no axes, but if you are just looking for something
simple something along these lines may be sufficient:
printplot <- function(x,y, wx = 25, wy = 25, dot = "+") {
xx <- round((wx-1) * (x - min(x)) / (max(x) - min(x))) + 1
yy <- round((wy-1) * (y - min(y)) / (max(y) - min(y))) + 1
slate <- matrix(" ", wx, wy)
slate[cbind(xx,yy)] <- dot
for(j in wy:1) cat(slate[j,], "\n", sep = "")
}
printplot(x = 1:10, y = (1:10)^2) # test
