[R] extract hyperplan from e1071 model

[Sarah Goslee]

Hi,

According to the help for svm, which you probably should have started
with, SV contains the support vectors, and index contains the position
of the support vectors in the data matrix.

As for plotting, plot.svm lets you pass additional options to plot so
that you can customize the plot to your tastes. I'm not sure if
add=TRUE is a useful option there, but you should try it. If that
doesn't meet your needs, R is open source - you can easily look at the
code for plot.svm and see what you need (basically the predicted
values on agrid, if I'm understanding your goal correctly).
