Plot method for modal state sequences
Plot method for output produced by the seqmodst function, i.e objects of class stslist.modst.
## S3 method for class 'stslist.modst' plot(x, cpal = NULL, ylab = NULL, yaxis = TRUE, xaxis = TRUE, xtlab = NULL, xtstep = NULL, tick.last = NULL, cex.axis = 1, cex.plot, ...)
x |

cpal |
alternative color palette to use for the states. If user specified, a vector of colors with number of elements equal to the number of states in the alphabet. By default, the 'cpal' attribute of the |
ylab |
an optional label for the y axis. If set to NA, no label is drawn. |
yaxis |
if TRUE (default) the y axis is plotted. |
xaxis |
if TRUE (default) the x axis is plotted. |
xtlab |
optional labels for the x axis ticks. If unspecified, the |
xtstep |
optional interval at which the tick-marks and labels of the x-axis are displayed. For example, with xtstep=3 a tick-mark is drawn at position 1, 4, 7, etc... The display of the corresponding labels depends on the available space and is dealt with automatically. If unspecified, the |

This is the plot method for the output produced by the seqmodst function, i.e. objects of class stslist.modst. It produces a plot showing the sequence of modal states with bar width proportional to the state frequencies.
This method is called by the generic seqplot function (if type="ms") that produces more sophisticated plots, allowing grouping and automatic display of the states legend. The seqmsplot function is a shortcut for calling seqplot with type="ms".
## Defining a sequence object with the data in columns 10 to 25
## (family status from age 15 to 30) in the biofam data set
data(biofam)
biofam.lab <- c("Parent", "Left", "Married", "Left+Marr",
"Child", "Left+Child", "Left+Marr+Child", "Divorced")
biofam.seq <- seqdef(biofam, 10:25, labels=biofam.lab)
## Modal state sequence
biofam.modst <- seqmodst(biofam.seq)
