#' Observations (DV) plotted against the independent variable (IDV) for Xpose 4
#' 
#' This is a plot of observations (DV) vs the independent variable (IDV), a
#' specific function in Xpose 4. It is a wrapper encapsulating arguments to the
#' \code{xpose.plot.default} function. Most of the options take their default
#' values from xpose.data object but may be overridden by supplying them as
#' arguments.
#' 
#' A wide array of extra options controlling \code{\link[lattice]{xyplot}} are
#' available. See \code{\link{xpose.plot.default}} and
#' \code{\link{xpose.panel.default}} for details.
#' 
#' @param object An xpose.data object.
#' @param smooth Logical value indicating whether an x-y smooth should be
#' superimposed.  The default is TRUE.
#' @param \dots Other arguments passed to \code{link{xpose.plot.default}}.
#' @return Returns an xyplot of DV vs IDV.
