stslist.statd object.
an object of class stslist.statd as produced by the seqstatd function.
if "d" (default), a state distribution plot is produced. If "Ht" an entropy index plot is produced.
alternative color palette to be used 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 x object is used.
an optional label for the y axis. If set to NA, no label is drawn.
if TRUE or "cum", the y axis is plotted with a label showing the cumulated percentage frequency of the displayed sequences. If "pct", the percentage value for each sequence is displayed.
if TRUE (default) the x-axis is plotted.
optional labels for the ticks of the x-axis. If unspecified, the names attribute of the input x object is used.
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 xtstep attribute of the x object is used.
Logical. Should a tick mark be enforced at the last position on the x-axis? If unspecified, the tick.last attribute of the x object is used.
Axis annotation magnification. See par.
the space between the stacked bars. Default is 0, i.e. no space.
Optional title for the x axis. See title.
Width of entropy line. Default is 3.5. Ignored when type="d".
Color of entropy line. Default is "blue". Ignored when type="d".
Real vector of length two. Limits of y axis for entropy line. Default is NULL. Ignored when type="d".
Deprecated. Use cex.axis instead.
further graphical parameters such as border=NA to remove the borders of the bars. For more details about the graphical parameter arguments, see barplot and par.

This is the plot method for output produced by the seqstatd function, i.e. for objects of class stslist.statd. If type="d" it produces a state distribution plot presenting the sequence of the transversal state frequencies at each successive (time) position, as computed by the seqstatd function. With type="Ht", the series of entropies of the transversal state distributions is plotted.
With type="dH" the entropy line is overlayed on the state distribution plot.
When ylim=NULL, ylim is set as c(0,1) when entropy is normalized and otherwise as c(0,1.1*max(entropy)).
This plot method is called by the generic seqplot function (if type="d", type="Ht", or "dH") that produces more sophisticated plots, allowing grouping and automatic display of the state color legend. The seqdplot, seqHtplot, and seqdHplot functions are aliases for calling seqplot with type="d", type="Ht", and dH respectively.
## Defining a sequence object with the data in columns 10 to 25
## (family status from age 15 to 30) in the biofam data set

"Child", "Left+Child", "Left+Marr+Child", "Divorced")

## State distribution
biofam.statd <- seqstatd(biofam.seq)
## State distribution plot (default type="d" option)
plot(biofam.statd)
## Entropy index plot
plot(biofam.statd, type="Ht")
## State distribution and entropy line
plot(biofam.statd, type="dH")
