plot methods for predictions from ideal objects
Plot classification success rates by legislators, or by roll calls, using predictions from ideal.
## S3 method for class 'predict.ideal'
plot(x, type = c("legis", "votes"),...)x | 
 an object of class   | 
type | 
 string; one of   |

 further arguments passed to or from other methods.  | 
type="legis" produces a plot of the “percent correctly
predicted” for each legislator/subject
(using the classification threshold set in
predict.ideal) against the estimated ideal point of each
legislator/subject (the estimated mean of the posterior density of the
ideal point), dimension at
a time.  If the legislators' party affiliations are available in the
rollcall object that was passed to ideal,
then legislators from the same party are plotted with a unique color.
type="votes" produces a plot of classification rates for each
roll call, by the percentage of legislators voting for the losing
side.  The x-ordinate is jittered for clarity.
After drawing plots on the current device, exits silently returning invisible(NULL).
