            col.fg = "blue", col.bg = "lavender", col.box = "cornsilk",
            xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL, xlab = "", ylab = "",
            main = "", cex = 1.2, axes = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

Examples

poster.plot(iris[,1],iris[,2],
            xlab="Sepal.Length", ylab="Sepal.Width")

poster.plot(iris[,1], col="red", col.box="grey95", ylab="Sepal.Length")

## plotting lines
n <- 200
freq <- 1:n
y <- sin(freq/n*4*pi)*cos(freq/n*3*pi) + 0.1*rnorm(n)
poster.plot(y,col.fg="grey30",type="l")
