How to plot points of a finite plane?

Given a prime field GF(p) -- not GF(p^n) for n>1 -- I would like to plot the affine plane A=GF(p)^2 and in this any given set of points, given either as a list or coming from a function. Especially I want to plot just lines, say, the graph of f: x -> x+1.

  1. What would be the most elegant way to do this?
  2. How could I switch to central representatives in the coordinate system for the plot, i.e. instead of e.g. GF(5)={0,1,...,4} use GF(5)={-2,-1,0,1,2}, in the most elegant way?
