#' Sensitivity analysis plots for \code{sensemakr}
#'
#' @description
#'
#' This function provides the contour and extreme scenario sensitivity plots of the sensitivity analysis results
#' obtained with the function \code{\link{sensemakr}}. They are basically dispatchers to the core plot functions \code{\link{ovb_contour_plot}} and
#' \code{\link{ovb_extreme_plot}}.
#'
#'
#' @param x an object of class \code{\link{sensemakr}}.
#' @param type type of sensitivity plot. It can be \code{"contour"}, for contour plots of omitted
#' variable bias as in \code{\link{ovb_contour_plot}}; or, \code{"extreme"} for
#' extreme scenarios plots of omitted variable bias as in \code{\link{ovb_extreme_plot}}.
#' @param ... arguments passed to the plot functions. Check arguments in  \code{\link{ovb_contour_plot}}
#' and \code{\link{ovb_extreme_plot}}.

#' Contour plots of omitted variable bias
#'
#' @description
#' Contour plots of omitted variable bias for sensitivity analysis. The main inputs are an \code{\link{lm}} model, the treatment variable
#' and the covariates used for benchmarking the strength of unobserved confounding.
#'
#' The horizontal axis of the plot shows hypothetical values of the partial R2 of the unobserved confounder(s) with the treatment.
#'  The vertical axis shows hypothetical values of the partial R2 of the unobserved confounder(s) with the outcome.
#'  The contour levels represent the adjusted estimates (or t-values) of the treatment effect.
#'  The reference points are the bounds on the partial R2 of the unobserved confounder if it were \code{k} times ``as strong'' as the observed covariate used for benchmarking (see arguments \code{kd} and \code{ky}).
#'  The dotted red line show the chosen critical threshold (for instance, zero): confounders with such strength (or stronger) are sufficient to invalidate the research conclusions.
#'  All results are exact for single confounders and conservative for multiple/nonlinear confounders.
#'
#'  See Cinelli and Hazlett (2020) for details.
#'
#' @param ... arguments passed to other methods. First argument should either be an \code{\link{lm}} model with the
#' outcome regression, a \code{\link{formula}} describing the model along
#' with the \code{\link{data.frame}} containing the variables of the model,
#' or a numeric vector with the coefficient estimate.

#' Extreme scenarios plots of omitted variable bias
#'
#' @description
#' Extreme scenario plots of omitted variable bias for sensitivity analysis. The main inputs are an \code{\link{lm}} model, the treatment variable
#' and the covariates used for benchmarking the strength of unobserved confounding.
#'
#' The horizontal axis shows the partial R2 of the unobserved confounder(s) with the treatment. The vertical axis shows the adjusted treatment effect estimate.
#' The partial R2 of the confounder with the outcome is represented by \emph{different curves} for each scenario, as given by the parameter \code{r2yz.dx}.
#' The red marks on horizontal axis are bounds on the partial R2 of the unobserved confounder \code{kd} times as strong as the covariates used for benchmarking.
#' The dotted red line represent the threshold for the effect estimate deemed to be problematic (for instance, zero).
#'
#' See Cinelli and Hazlett (2020) for details.
