\title{Plot Entries in a Hyperframe}
\description{
  Plots the entries in a hyperframe, in a series of
  panels, one panel for each row of the hyperframe.
}
\usage{
   \method{plot}{hyperframe}(x, e, \dots, main, arrange=TRUE,
                            nrows=NULL, ncols=NULL,
                            parargs=list(mar=mar * marsize),
                            marsize=1, mar=c(1,1,3,1))
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{
    Data to be plotted. A hyperframe (object of class \code{"hyperframe"}, see
    \code{\link{hyperframe}}).
  }
  \item{e}{
    How to plot each row. Optional. An \R language call or expression
    (typically enclosed in \code{\link{quote}()} that will be
    evaluated in each row of the hyperframe to generate the plots.
  }
  \item{\dots}{
    Extra arguments controlling the plot (when \code{e} is missing).
  }
  \item{main}{Overall title for the array of plots.}
  \item{arrange}{
    Logical flag indicating whether to plot the objects
    side-by-side on a single page (\code{arrange=TRUE})
    or plot them individually in a succession of frames
    (\code{arrange=FALSE}).
  }
  \item{nrows,ncols}{
    Optional. The number of rows/columns in the plot layout
    (assuming \code{arrange=TRUE}).
    You can specify either or both of these numbers.
  }
  \item{parargs}{
    Optional list of arguments passed to \code{\link{par}} before
    plotting each panel. Can be used to control margin sizes, etc.
  }
  \item{marsize}{
    Optional scale parameter controlling the sizes of margins around
    the panels. Incompatible with \code{parargs}.
  }
  \item{mar}{
    Optional numeric vector of length 1, 2 or 4
    controlling the relative sizes of margins between
    the panels. Incompatible with \code{parargs}.
  }
}
\details{
  This is the \code{plot} method for the class \code{"hyperframe"}.

  The argument \code{x} must be a hyperframe (like a data frame,
  except that the entries can be objects of any class; see
  \code{\link{hyperframe}}).

  This function generates a series of plots, one plot for each
  row of the hyperframe. If \code{arrange=TRUE} (the default), then
  these plots are arranged in a neat array of panels within a single
  plot frame. If \code{arrange=FALSE}, the plots are simply executed
  one after another.

  Exactly what is plotted, and how it is plotted, depends on the
  argument \code{e}. The default (if \code{e} is missing) is to plot
  only the first column of \code{x}. Each entry in the first column
  is plotted using the generic \code{\link{plot}} command, together with
  any extra arguments given in \code{\dots}.

  If \code{e} is present, it should be an \R language expression
  involving the column names of \code{x}.
  (It is typically created using \code{\link{quote}} or
  \code{\link{expression}}.)
  The expression will be evaluated once for each row of \code{x}.
  It will be evaluated in an environment where each column name of
  \code{x} is interpreted as meaning the object in that column
  in the current row.
  See the Examples.
