If you want an automatic legend then lattice or
ggplot2 are the ways to go (maybe xYplot in the Hmisc
package too, but I don't know it well enough to give
an example).
x = runif(300)
f = factor(rep(1:3,each=100))
y = rnorm(x)+c(1,5,10)[f]
## base
plot(x,y,col=as.numeric(f))
legend("bottomleft",levels(f),col=1:3,pch=1)
## lattice
library(lattice)
xyplot(y~x,groups=f,auto.key=TRUE)
## ggplot2
library(ggplot2)
qplot(x,y,colour=f)
