In a paper I recently came across a nice 5 sets Venn diagram:

I was wondering what software might have been used to draw this? Can this be done in R perhaps?

Most of the packages I looked at seem to produce the less clear version

Any thoughts?

EDIT: seems the Nature article used this web tool: http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/webtools/Venn/ might still be nice to port it to some R package, especially the asymmetric Venns, which are currently not available in any package that I know of

For the record Adrian Dusa made a really nice new R package venn that makes Venn diagrams as above, for up to 7 sets :

library(venn)
venn(5, ilab=TRUE, zcolor = "style")

enter image description here

venn(7, ilab=TRUE, zcolor = "style")

enter image description here

Thanks Adrian for the cool package!
