\title{Plot Methods for `table' Objects}
4
\description{
5
  This is a method of the generic \code{plot} function for
6
  (contingency) \code{\link{table}} objects.  Whereas for two- and more
7
  dimensional tables, a \code{\link{mosaicplot}} is drawn,
8
  one-dimensional ones are plotted \dQuote{bar like}.

\usage{
11
%% Improvement ideas: see code definition, currently in ../R/plot.R
12
\method{plot}{table}(x, type = "h", ylim = c(0, max(x)), lwd = 2,
13
      xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, frame.plot = is.num, \dots)
14
}
15
\arguments{
16
  \item{x}{a \code{\link{table}} (like) object.}
17
  \item{type}{plotting type.}
18
  \item{ylim}{range of y-axis.}
19
  \item{lwd}{line width for bars when \code{type = "h"} is used in the 1D case.}
20
  \item{xlab, ylab}{x- and y-axis labels.}
21
  \item{frame.plot}{logical indicating if a frame (\code{\link{box}})
22
    should be drawn in the 1D case.  Defaults to true when \code{x} has
23
    \code{\link{dimnames}} coerceable to numbers.}
24
  \item{\dots}{further graphical arguments, see \code{\link{plot.default}}.}
25
}
26
\details{
27
  The current implementation (R 1.2) is somewhat experimental and will
28
  be improved and extended.
