\begin{Description}\relax
A basic method to plot \code{\LinkA{flowFrame}{flowFrame}}
objects. Depending on the number of dimensions, different types of
plots are generates. See below for details.
\end{Description}
\begin{Details}\relax
Basic plots for \code{flowFrame} objects. If the object has only a
single parameter this produces a
\code{\LinkA{histogram}{histogram}}. For exactly two parameters we
plot a bivariate density map (see
\code{\LinkA{smoothScatter}{smoothScatter}}) and for more
than two parameters we produce a simple \code{\LinkA{splom}{splom}}
plot. To select specific parameters from a \code{flowFrame} for
plotting, either subset the object or specify the parameters as a
character vector in the second argument to \code{plot}. The
\code{smooth} parameters lets you toggle between density-type
\code{\LinkA{smoothScatter}{smoothScatter}} plots and
regular scatter- or pairs plots.  For far more sophisticated plotting
of flow cytometry data, see the lattice-style plot methods provided by
this package.

\describe{

\item[x = "flowFrame", y = "ANY"] We decide on the number of parameters
in the  \code{\LinkA{flowFrame}{flowFrame}}which plot type to use.

\item[x = "flowFrame", y = "missing"] see above 

\item[x = "flowFrame", y = "character"] The parameters to plot are
given as a second argument in the form of a character vector.
