Generic X-Y Plotting
Usage
plot(x, ...)
plot(x, y, xlim=range(x), ylim=range(y), type="p",
main, xlab, ylab, ...)
plot(y ~ x, ...)
Arguments
x
|
the coordinates of points in the plot. Alternatively, a
single plotting structure or any R object with a
plot method can be provided.
|
y
|
the y coordinates of points in the plot, optional
if x is an appropriate structure.
|
xlim, ylim
|
the ranges to be encompassed by the x and y axes.
|
type
|
what type of plot should be drawn. Possible types are
"p" for points,
"l" for lines,
"b" for both,
"o" for both ``overplotted'',
"h" for ``histogram'' like vertical lines,
"s" for steps,
"S" for other steps,
"n" for no plotting.
|
main
|
an overall title for the plot.
|
xlab
|
a title for the x axis.
|
ylab
|
a title for the y axis.
|
...
|
graphical parameters can be given as arguments to
plot .

Description
Generic function for plotting of R objects. For more details about
the graphical parameter arguments, see par
.Details
For simple scatter plots, plot.default
will be used.
However, there are plot
methods for many R objects,
including function
s, data.frame
s,
density
objects, etc. Use methods(plot)
and
the documentation for these.See Also
plot.default
, plot.formula
and other
methods; points

.Examples
data(cars)
plot(cars)
lines(lowess(cars))
plot(sin, -pi, 2*pi)
## Discrete Distribution Plot:
plot(table(rpois(100,5)), type = "h", col = "red", lwd=10,
main="rpois(100,lambda=5)")
