Description Arguments Methods Author(s) Examples

Methods for function plot. Some arguments are not applicable to all methods, but most are common.

`dates`	If `TRUE`, plots the dates of peaks and troughs on the plot. default=FALSE
`yearrep`	Number of digits a year is represented if dates are plotted (i.e. `dates = TRUE`), eg. `yearrep = 2` plots dates like 72:3, and `yearrep = 4` plots dates like 1372:3. default = 2
`col.bg`	Background Color of Dating plot (i.e. the color for periods with unknown cycle state). default=gery(0.8)
`col.exp`	Color for Expansions. default=grey(1)
`col.rec`	Color for Recessions. default=grey(0.45)
`main`	Main Title of the Plot, if not provided, the name of the Dating will be used. default=""
`xlab`	Label of the X axis. default=""
`ylab`	Label of the Y axis. default=""
`lwd`	The line Width. default=2
`cex`	Relative magnification factor. default=0.5
`vert`	A vector of dates in which vertical lines should be plotted. default=NULL
`col.vert`	Color of added vertical lines. default="darkblue"
`windos`	If `TRUE`, plots the time series in the time horizon where the Dating is available, else plots the entire time series. default=FALSE
`averages`	If `TRUE`, plots the averages of times series in each cycle phases. This can be either a vector with the length equal to number of time series in mts object, or just a single value, which would be used for all time series. default=FALSE
`col`	Color of each of the time series plotted. This can be either a vector with the length equal to number of time series in mts object, or just a single value, which would be used for all time series. default="red"

signature(x = "BCDating", y = "missing"): Plots a BCDating.
signature(x = "BCDating", y = "ts"): Plot a Time-Series, (or multiple time serires in case y's class is mts) on a BCDating.
signature(x = "ts", y = "BCDating"): Plot a Time-Series, (or multiple time serires in case y's class is mts) on a BCDating.
signature(x = "BCDating", y = "BCDating"): Plots 2 BCDatings, so you can compare them.
signature(x = "list", y = "missing"): Plots a list of BCDating Objects, so you can compare them.
