#' Stacked Plots of Multichannel Sequences and/or Most Probable
#' Paths from Hidden Markov Models
#'
#' Function \code{ssplot} plots stacked sequence plots of sequence object
#' created with the \code{\link{seqdef}} function or observations and/or most
#' probable paths of \code{hmm} objects.
#'
#' @export
#'
#' @param x Either a hidden Markov model object of class \code{hmm} or a state
#' sequence object of class \code{stslist} (created with the \code{\link[TraMineR]{seqdef}})
#' function) or a list of state sequence objects.
#'
#' @param hidden.paths Output from \code{\link{hidden_paths}} function. Optional, if
#' \code{x} is a \code{hmm} object or if \code{type = "obs"}.
#'
#' @param plots What to plot. One of \code{"obs"} for observations (the default),
#' \code{"hidden.paths"} for most probable paths of hidden states,
#' or \code{"both"} for observations and hidden paths together.
#'
#' @param type The type of the plot. Available types are \code{"I"} for sequence index
#' plots and \code{"d"} for state distribution plots (the default). See
#' \code{\link{seqplot}} for details.
#'
#' @param tlim Indexes of the subjects to be plotted (the default is 0,
#' i.e. all subjects are plotted). For example, \code{tlim = 1:10} plots
#' the first ten subjects in data.
#'
#' @param sortv A sorting variable or a sort method (one of \code{"from.start"},
#' \code{"from.end"}, \code{"mds.obs"}, or \code{"mds.hidden"}) for
#' \code{type = "I"}. The value \code{"mds.hidden"} is only available when
#' hidden paths are available. Options \code{"mds.obs"} and
#' \code{"mds.hidden"} automatically arrange the sequences according to the
#' scores of multidimensional scaling (using \code{\link{cmdscale}}) for the
#' observed data or hidden states paths.
#' MDS scores are computed from distances/dissimilarities using a metric
#' defined in argument \code{dist.method}. See \code{\link{plot.stslist}} for
#' more details on \code{"from.start"} and \code{"from.end"}.
#'
#' @param sort.channel The number of the channel according to which the
#' \code{"from.start"} or \code{"from.end"} sorting is done. Sorting according
#' to hidden states is called with value 0. The default value is 1 (the first
#' channel).
#'
#' @param dist.method The metric to be used for computing the distances of the
#' sequences if multidimensional scaling is used for sorting. One of "OM"
#' (optimal matching, the default), "LCP" (longest common prefix), "RLCP"
#' (reversed LCP, i.e. longest common suffix), "LCS" (longest common
#' subsequence), "HAM" (Hamming distance), and "DHD" (dynamic Hamming distance).
#' Transition rates are used for defining substitution costs if needed. See
#' \code{\link[TraMineR]{seqdef}} for more information on the metrics.
#'
#' @param with.missing Controls whether missing states are included in state
#' distribution plots (\code{type = "d"}). The default is \code{FALSE}.
#'
#' @param missing.color Alternative color for representing missing values
#' in the sequences. By default, this color is taken from the \code{missing.color}
#' attribute of the sequence object.
#'
#' @param title Main title for the graphic. The default is \code{NA}: if
#' \code{title.n = TRUE}, only the number of subjects is plotted. \code{FALSE}
#' prints no title, even when \code{title.n = TRUE}.
#'
#' @param title.n Controls whether the number of subjects (in the
#' first channel) is printed in the title of the plot. The default is
#' \code{TRUE}: n is plotted if \code{title} is anything but \code{FALSE}.
#'
#' @param cex.title Expansion factor for setting the size of the font for the
#' title. The default value is 1. Values lesser than 1 will reduce the size of
#' the font, values greater than 1 will increase the size.
#'
#' @param title.pos Controls the position of the main title of the plot. The
#' default value is 1. Values greater than 1 will place the title higher.
#'
#' @param with.legend Defines if and where the legend for the states is plotted.
#' The default value \code{"auto"} (equivalent to \code{TRUE} and
#' \code{"right"}) creates separate legends for each requested plot and
#' positiones them on the right-hand side of the plot. Other possible values
#' are \code{"bottom"},
#' \code{"right.combined"}, and \code{"bottom.combined"}, of which the last
#' two create a combined legend in the selected position. \code{FALSE} prints no legend.
#'
#' @param ncol.legend (A vector of) the number of columns for the legend(s). The
#' default \code{"auto"} determines number of columns depending on the position of
#' the legend.
#'
#' @param with.missing.legend If set to \code{"auto"} (the default), a legend
#' for the missing state is added automatically if one or more of the
#' sequences in the data/channel contains missing states and \code{type = "I"}.
#' If \code{type = "d"} missing states are omitted from the legends unless
#' \code{with.missing = TRUE}. With the value \code{TRUE} a
#' legend for the missing state is added in any case; equivalently
#' \code{FALSE} omits the legend for the missing state.
#'
#' @param legend.prop Sets the proportion of the graphic area used for plotting
#' the legend when \code{with.legend} is not \code{FALSE}. The default value is
#' 0.3. Takes values from 0 to 1.
#'
#' @param cex.legend Expansion factor for setting the size of the font for the
#' labels in the legend. The default value is 1. Values lesser than 1 will
#' reduce the size of the font, values greater than 1 will increase the size.
#'
#' @param hidden.states.colors A vector of colors assigned to hidden states. The default
#' value \code{"auto"} uses the colors assigned to the \code{stslist} object (created
#' with \code{\link[TraMineR]{seqdef}}) if \code{hidden.paths} is given; otherwise colors from
#' \code{\link{colorpalette}} are automatically used.
#'
#' @param hidden.states.labels Labels for the hidden states. The default value
#' \code{"auto"} uses the names provided in \code{x$state_names} if \code{x} is
#' an \code{hmm} object; otherwise the number of the hidden state.
#'
#' @param xaxis Controls whether an x-axis is plotted below the plot at the
#' bottom. The default value is \code{TRUE}.
#'
#' @param xlab An optional label for the x-axis. If set to \code{NA}, no label
#' is drawn.
#'
#' @param xtlab Optional labels for the x-axis tick labels. If unspecified, the
#' column names of the \code{seqdata} sequence object are used (see
#' \code{\link[TraMineR]{seqdef}}).
#'
#' @param xlab.pos Controls the position of the x-axis label. The default value
#' is 1. Values greater than 1 will place the label further away from the plot.
#'
#' @param ylab Labels for the channels shown as labels for y-axes.
#' A vector of names for each channel
#' (observations). The default value \code{"auto"} uses the names provided in
#' \code{x$channel_names} if \code{x} is an \code{hmm} object; otherwise the
#' names of the list in \code{x} if given, or the
#' number of the channel if names are not given. \code{FALSE} prints no labels.
#'
#' @param hidden.states.title Optional label for the hidden state plot (in the
#' y-axis). The default is \code{"Hidden states"}.
#'
#' @param yaxis Controls whether or not to plot the y-axis. The default is \code{FALSE}.
#'
#' @param ylab.pos Controls the position of the y axis labels (labels for
#' channels and/or hidden states). Either \code{"auto"} or a numerical vector
#' indicating how far away from the plots the titles are positioned. The
#' default value \code{"auto"} positions all titles on line 1.
#' Shorter vectors are recycled.
#'
#' @param cex.lab Expansion factor for setting the size of the font for the axis
#' labels. The default value is 1. Values lesser than 1 will reduce the size
#' of the font, values greater than 1 will increase the size.
#'
#' @param cex.axis Expansion factor for setting the size of the font for the x-axis
#' tick labels. The default value is 1. Values lesser than 1 will reduce the size of
#' the font, values greater than 1 will increase the size.
#' @param respect_void If \code{TRUE} (default), states at the time points
#' corresponding to TraMineR's void in the observed sequences are set to void
#' in the hidden state sequences as well.
#'
#' @param ... Other arguments to be passed on to
#' \code{\link[TraMineR]{seqplot}}.
