## S3 method for class 'cce'
plot(
  x,
  y,
  ...,
  cntry,
  lab_adj = 0.25,
  detailed_lab = TRUE,
  no_lab = FALSE,
  years = c(min(x$year), max(x$year)),
  plot_pal = c("#003f5c", "#ff6361", "#20639b", "#ffa600", "#58508d", "#bc5090"),
  text_col = "#3d3d3d"
)

x	A dataset of class cce prepared by prep_cce().
y	ignored
...	Additional arguments to pass to the ggplot device.
cntry	The country to plot. This may be a character string with the country name or the numeric Correlates of War code. For a list of possible values use the command unique(x[, c("country", "cowcode")]).
