\title{Plot Methods for \code{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 as bars.

}

\usage{

\method{plot}{table}(x, type = "h", ylim = c(0, max(x)), lwd = 2,

     xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, frame.plot = is.num, \dots)

\method{points}{table}(x, y = NULL, type = "h", lwd = 2, \dots)

\method{lines}{table}(x, y = NULL, type = "h", lwd = 2, \dots)

}

\arguments{

  \item{x}{a \code{\link{table}} (like) object.}

  \item{y}{Must be \code{NULL}: there to protect against incorrect calls.}

  \item{type}{plotting type.}

  \item{ylim}{range of y-axis.}

  \item{lwd}{line width for bars when \code{type = "h"} is used in the 1D case.}

  \item{xlab, ylab}{x- and y-axis labels.}

  \item{frame.plot}{logical indicating if a frame (\code{\link{box}})

    should be drawn in the 1D case.  Defaults to true when \code{x} has

    \code{\link{dimnames}} coerce-able to numbers.}

  \item{\dots}{further graphical arguments, see \code{\link{plot.default}}.

    \code{axes = FALSE} is accepted.}

\examples{

## 1-d tables

(Poiss.tab <- table(N = stats::rpois(200, lambda = 5)))

plot(Poiss.tab, main = "plot(table(rpois(200, lambda = 5)))")

plot(table(state.division))

## 4-D :

plot(Titanic, main ="plot(Titanic, main= *)")
