_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Interface to plotting of 'twilight' objects. Produces one of five
     possible plots.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     plot.twilight(x, which = "fdr", grayscale = FALSE, legend = TRUE, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: An object of class twilight. 

   which: A character string specifying the plot to be made. 

grayscale: Logical value. Specifying whether plots should be colored or
          grayscaled. Only necessary for "scores" and "fdr". 

  legend: Logical value. Produces a legend for "scores" and
          "effectsize". A legend for "fdr" is only available if
          bootstrap estimates exist. 

     ...: Additional graphical arguments. 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Option 'which="scores"' plots the expected versus the observed
     test statistics and draws confidence lines calculated from
     permutations. This plot is similar to plots in Tusher et al.
     (2001).

     Option 'which="qvalues"' plots q-values versus the number of
     rejected hypotheses.

     Option 'which="fdr"' plots u-values versus 1 - local false
     discovery rate, that is the conditional probability of being
     significant given the corresponding u-value, plus bootstrap
     estimates if computed. Bottom ticks are 1

     Option 'which="volcano"' results in the volcano plot, that is
     observed score versus 1 - local false discovery rate. Bottom ticks
     are 1

     Option 'which="effectsize"' plots the observed fold change
     equivalent score distribution overlaid by the estimated effect
     size distribution, that is distribution of scores under the
     alternative. This plot is only available if function
     'twilight.pval' was applied with 'method="fc"' as fold change
     equivalent scores are computed from log ratios.

     Option 'which="table"' tabulates histogram '"effectsize"'.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     No value is returned except for "table".
