#' Function to visualise distance kernel functions
#'
#' \code{xVisKernels} is supposed to visualise distance kernels, each of which is a decaying function of: i) the relative distance \eqn{d_{gs}} between the gene \eqn{g} and the SNP \eqn{s}, and ii) the decay exponent \eqn{\lambda}.
#'
#' @param exponent an integer specifying decay exponent. By default, it sets to 2
#' @param newpage logical to indicate whether to open a new page. By default, it sets to true for opening a new page
#' @return 
#' invisible
#' @note There are five kernels that are currently supported:
#' \itemize{
#' \item{For "slow decay" kernel, \eqn{h_{ds}(t)={1-{d_{gs}/D}\lambda}*(d_{gs} \le D)}}
#' \item{For "linear decay" kernel, \eqn{h_{ds}(t)={1-d_{gs}/D}*(d_{gs} \le D)}}
#' \item{For "rapid decay" kernel, \eqn{h_{ds}(t)={{1-d_{gs}/D}^\lambda}*(d_{gs} \le D)}}
#' }
