    xaxs="r", new=TRUE,
    label.cytoband=TRUE, label.y=NULL, srt, cex.axis=1, outer=FALSE, taper=0.15, ...)

### Arguments

`chromosome` | character string: which chromosome to draw the cytoband
`cytoband` | data.frame containing cytoband information
`cytoband.ycoords` | numeric: y coordinates
`xlim` | x-axis limits
`ylim` | y-axis limits
`xaxs` | see par
`new` | logical: if TRUE, plots the cytoband on a new device
`label.cytoband` | logical: if TRUE, labels the cytobands
`label.y` | numeric: height (y-coordinate) for cytoband label
`srt` | string rotation for cytoband labels. See `par`
