R: Plot Methods for `table' Objects

plot.table {base} | R Documentation

## Plot Methods for `table' Objects

### Description

This is a method of the generic `plot` function for (contingency) `table` objects. Whereas for two- and more dimensional tables, a `mosaicplot` is drawn, one-dimensional ones are plotted ``bar like''.

### Usage

    plot.table(x, type = "h", ylim = c(0, max(x)), lwd = 2,
               xlab = NULL, ylab = deparse(substitute(x)), frame.plot = is.num, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | a `table` (like) object.
`type` | plotting type.
`ylim` | range of y-axis.
`lwd` | line width of bars when `type = "h"` is used.
`xlab, ylab` | x- and y-axis labels.
`frame.plot` | logical indicating if a frame (`box`) should be drawn. Default are ~~Describe `frame.plot` here~~
`...` | further graphical arguments, see `plot.default`.

### Details

The current implementation (R 1.2) is somewhat experimental and will be improved and extended.

### See Also

`plot.factor`, the `plot` method for factors.

### 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= *)")
