I am sure Hadley will argue that this is the reason why ggplot2 by default has a gray background.

[R] Interaction plots as lines or bars?
Dear r-helpers, An editor has suggested that I use bar plots to capture an interaction of two 2-level factors and an interaction of a 2 by 3 factorial experiment. (It would seem that there's a fear that someone might try to interpolate between, e.g., 'male' and 'female'.) In general it seems to me that an interaction plot with lines is easier to read, and not likely to mislead.
