Basic Internal Plot Function

Description:

     This is the internal function that does the basic plotting of
     points and lines.  Usually, one should rather use the higher level
     functions instead and refer to their help pages for explanation of
     the arguments.

Usage:

     plot.xy(xy, type, pch=1, lty="solid", col=par("fg"), bg=NA, cex=1, ...)

Arguments:

      xy: A four-element list as results from `xy.coords'.

    type: 1 character code.

     pch: character or integer code for kind of points/lines, see
          `points.default'.

     lty: line type code, see `lines'.

     col: color code or name, see `colors', `palette'.

      bg: background (``fill'') color for open plot symbols.

     cex: character expansion.

     ...: further graphical parameters.

See Also:

     `plot', `plot.default', `points', `lines'.

Examples:

     points.default # to see how it calls "plot.xy(xy.coords(x, y), ...)"
