#' Probability in flipping coins
#'
#' This function provides a simulation to the process of flipping coins and
#' computes the frequencies for `heads' and `tails'.
#'
#' If \code{faces} is a single integer, say 2, a sequence of integers from 1 to
#' \code{faces} will be used to denote the faces of a coin; otherwise this
#' character vector just gives the names of each face.
#'
#' When the \eqn{i}-th face shows up, a colored thin rectangle will be added to
#' the corresponding place (the \eqn{i}-th bar), and there will be corresponding
#' annotations for the number of tosses and frequencies.
#'
#' The special argument \code{grid} is for consideration of a too large number
#' of flipping, in which case if you still draw horizontal lines in these
#' rectangles, the rectangles will be completely covered by these lines, thus we
#' should specify it as \code{NA}.
#'
#' At last the frequency for each face will be computed and shown in the header
#' of the plot -- this shall be close to \code{prob} if
#' \code{ani.options('nmax')} is large enough.
#'
#' @param faces an integer or a character vector. See details below.
#' @param prob the probability vector of showing each face. If \code{NULL}, each
#' face will be shown in the same probability.
#' @param border The border style for the rectangles which stand for
#' probabilities.
#' @param grid the color for horizontal grid lines in these rectangles
#' @param col The colors to annotate different faces of the `coin'.
#' @param type,pch,bg See \code{\link{points}}.
#' @param digits integer indicating the precision to be used in the annotation
#' of frequencies in the plot
#' @return A list containing \item{freq}{A vector of frequencies (simulated
#' probabilities)} \item{nmax}{the total number of tosses}
#' @note You may change the colors of each face using the argument \code{col}
#' (repeated if shorter than the number of faces).
