In corrplot: Visualization of a Correlation Matrix

#' Using mixed methods to visualize a correlation matrix.
#'
#' @param corr Matrix, the correlation matrix to visualize.
#' @param lower Character, the visualization method for the lower triangular
#'   correlation matrix.
#' @param upper Character, the visualization method for the upper triangular
#'   correlation matrix.
#' @param tl.pos Character, \code{'lt'}, \code{'d'} or \code{'n'}, giving
#'   position of text labels, \code{'lt'} means left and top,  \code{'d'} means
#'   diagonal. If \code{'n'},  add no textlabel.
#' @param diag Character, for specifying the glyph on the principal diagonal. It
#'   is one of \code{'n'} (default,  draw nothing), \code{'l'} (draw the glyphs
#'   of lower triangular) or \code{'u'} (draw the glyphs of upper triangular).
#' @param bg The background color.
#' @param addgrid.col See the \code{addgrid.col} parameter in the function
#'   \code{\link{corrplot}}
#' @param lower.col Passed as \code{col} parameter to the lower matrix.
#' @param upper.col Passed as \code{col} parameter to the upper matrix.
#' @param plotCI See the \code{plotCI} parameter in the function
#'   \code{\link{corrplot}}
#' @param mar See \code{\link{par}}.
#' @param \dots Additional arguments for corrplot's wrappers
