R: Plot Methods for 'table' Objects

plot.table {graphics} | 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 as bars.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'table'
    plot(x, type = "h", ylim = c(0, max(x)), lwd = 2,
         xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, frame.plot = is.num, ...)
    ## S3 method for class 'table'
    points(x, y = NULL, type = "h", lwd = 2, ...)
    ## S3 method for class 'table'
    lines(x, y = NULL, type = "h", lwd = 2, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | a `table` (like) object.
`y` | Must be `NULL`: there to protect against incorrect calls.
`type` | plotting type.
`ylim` | range of y-axis.
`lwd` | line width for bars when `type = "h"` is used in the 1D case.
`xlab, ylab` | x- and y-axis labels.
`frame.plot` | logical indicating if a frame (`box`) should be drawn in the 1D case. Defaults to true when `x` has `dimnames` coerce-able to numbers.
`...` | further graphical arguments, see `plot.default`. `axes = FALSE` is accepted.

### See Also

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

### 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= *)")
