X-Y Plotting

Generic function for plotting of R objects. For more details about the graphical parameter arguments, see par.

A longer description will go here eventually.

plot(x, y, xlim=range(x), ylim=range(y), type="p",
        main, xlab, ylab, ...)

`x`, `y`	the coordinates of points in the plot. Alternatively, a single plotting structure can be provided.
`xlim`, `ylim`	the ranges to be encompased by the x and y axes.
`type`	what type of plot should be drawn. Possible types are `"p"` for points, `"l"` for lines, `"b"` for both, `"o"` for both "overplotted", `"h"` for "histogram" like vertical lines, `"s"` for steps, `"S"` for other steps, and `"n"` for no plotting.
`main`	an overall title for the plot.
`xlab`	a title for the x axis.
`ylab`	a title for the y axis.
`...`	graphical parameters can be given as arguments to `plot`.
