Use the ggplot2 package in order to make a volcano plot! Check out the following book for more information about the package: ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis (Use R) by Hadley Wickham. ggplot2 is great for creating professional graphics in no time.
If you look up stat_density in R, you will find the following example at the bottom of the page: # Make a volcano plot ggplot(diamonds, aes(x = price)) + stat_density(aes(ymax = ..density.., ymin = -..density..), fill = "grey50", colour = "grey50", geom = "ribbon", position = "identity") + facet_grid(. ~ cut) + coord_flip() Good luck!
