plot.nomObject: 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 nomObject
plot(x, dims=c(1,2), ...)

Value

A summary plot of a wnominate object.

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.
