How to plot mutation hotspot according to mutation counts

Question

[wangshx]

There is a data.frame including the number of mutation & start position and end position of mutation interval, just like

> head(chr1)
   start   end mutation_count
1: 10493 10512              0
2: 10556 10562              0
3: 10596 10603              0
4: 10633 10657              0
5: 10662 10686              2
6: 10691 10715              1

How can I plot a hotspot figure, which lateral axis stands for mutation position, and y axis means number of mutation?

There are several R packages and online tools, but I'd probably start with http://www.cbioportal.org/mutation_mapper.jsp
