\title{Plot Methods for `table' Objects}
\description{
  This is a method of the generic \code{plot} function for
  (contingency) \code{\link{table}} objects.  Whereas for two- and more
  dimensional tables, a \code{\link{mosaicplot}} is drawn,
  one-dimensional ones are plotted ``bar like''.
}
\usage{
%% Improvement ideas: see code definition, currently in ../R/plot.R
plot.table(x, type = "h", ylim = c(0, max(x)), lwd = 2,
           xlab = NULL, ylab = deparse(substitute(x)), frame.plot = is.num, ...)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{a \code{\link{table}} (like) object.}
  \item{type}{plotting type.}
  \item{ylim}{range of y-axis.}
  \item{lwd}{line width of bars when \code{type = "h"} is used.}
  \item{xlab, ylab}{x- and y-axis labels.}
  \item{frame.plot}{logical indicating if a frame (\code{\link{box}})
    should be drawn.  Default are ~~Describe \code{frame.plot} here~~ }
  \item{\dots}{further graphical arguments, see \code{\link{plot.default}}.}
}
\details{
  The current implementation (R 1.2) is somewhat experimental and will
  be improved and extended.

\examples{
## 1-d tables
(Poiss.tab <- table(N = rpois(200, lam= 5)))
plot(Poiss.tab, main = "plot(table(rpois(200, lam=5)))")

data(state)
plot(table(state.division))

## 4-D :
data(Titanic)
plot(Titanic, main ="plot(Titanic, main= *)")
