Documented in plotEISA

#' @title Visualize the results from an exon-intron split analysis.
#'
#' @description \code{plotEISA} takes the return value from \code{\link{runEISA}}
#'   and generates a scatterplot of intronic versus exonic changes.
#'
#' @author Michael Stadler
#'
#' @param x \code{list} with EISA results, typically the return value from \code{\link{runEISA}}
#' @param contrast one of \code{"ExIn"} or \code{"none"}. If \code{"ExIn"}
#'   (the default), genes that significantly differ between exonic and intronic changes
#'   are highlighted. \code{"none"} turns off gene highlighting.
#' @param minLfc \code{NULL} or \code{numeric(1)} with the minimal absolute log2
#'   fold change to color a gene. If \code{NULL} (the default), no fold changes
#'   are not used to select genes for highlighting.
#' @param maxFDR \code{numeric(1)} with maximal false discovery rate for gene
#'   highlighting.
#' @param genecolors Vector of length three specifying the colors to use for
#'   genes that are significantly up, down or unchanged.
#' @param ... further arguments past to \code{plot()}. Parameters that will be set
#'   automatically unless given in the arguments are:\describe{
#'     \item{pch}{: plot symbol (default: \code{"."})}
#'     \item{cex}{: plot symbol expansion factor (default: \code{2})}
#'     \item{col}{: plot symbol color (default: according to \code{contrast} and \code{genecolors})}
#'     \item{xlab/ylab}{: axis labels}
#'   }
#'
#' @return `NULL` (invisibly)
#'
#' @examples
#'   # see the help for runEISA() for a full example
