Another approach would be to redefine the cross-codes table as distances.
For example, if the cross-codes table is a matrix called m ...
# convert to "distances"
d <- 1 - m/diag(m)
# fill in the complete matrix
d[lower.tri(d)] <- d[upper.tri(d)]
# use multidimensional scaling to represent the distances in two
dimensions
twodim <- cmdscale(d)
plot(twodim, type="n")
text(twodim, rownames(twodim))
