W-NOMINATE Summary Plot

Description

plot.nomObject reads a W-NOMINATE object in two user-specified dimensions and plots the coordinates, cutting lines, a Coombs mesh, and a Skree plot. For 1-dimensional W-NOMINATE objects, it plots the coordinates against the ranks along with a Skree plot.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'nomObject'
plot(x, dims=c(1,2), ...)

Arguments

`x`	a `wnominate` output object.
`dims`	a vector of length 2, specifying the two dimensions to be plotted.
`...`	other arguments do nothing and are not passed to any plot functions.

Value

A summary plot of a wnominate object.
