This style of plot was officially named a "Piner Plot" at the CAPAM Selectivity Workshop, La Jolla March 2013. This is in honor of Kevin Piner's contributions to interpreting likelihood profiles. He's surely not the first person to make such a plot but the name seems to have stuck.

Plot to active plot device?
Print to PNG files?
Which likelihood component to plot. Default is "Length_like".
Title for plot. Should match component.
Optional subset of the models described in
summaryoutput. Either "all" or a vector of numbers indicating
columns in summary tables.
Optional vector of fleet numbers to include.
Optional character vector of names for each fleet.
Character string used to find parameter over which the profile was conducted. Needs to match substring of one of the SS parameter labels found in the Report.sso file. For instance, the default input 'steep' matches the parameter 'SR_BH_steep'.
Label for x-axis describing the parameter over which the profile was conducted.
Label for y-axis. Default is "Change in -log-likelihood".
Optional vector of colors for each line.
Optional vector of plot characters for the points.
Line total for the liklihood components.
Line type for the total likelihood.
Line width for the liklihood components.
Line width for the total likelihood.
Character expansion for the points representing the likelihood components.
Character expansion for the points representing the total likelihood.
Range for x-axis. Change in likelihood is calculated relative to values within this range.
Maximum y-value. Default is 10% greater than largest value plotted.
The style of axis interval calculation to be used for the x-axis (see ?par for more info)
The style of axis interval calculation to be used for the y-axis (see ?par for more info).
Line type (see ?plot for more info).
Include legend?
Location of legend (see ?legend for more info).
Width of plot
Height of plot
Units for PNG file
Resolution for PNG file
Point size for PNG file
Character expansion for plot titles
Directory where PNG files will be written. by default it will be the directory where the model was run.
Return updates of function progress to the R GUI? (Doesn't do anything yet.)
Optional character vector, with length equal to the number of declared fleets, where fleets with the same value are aggregated
choice of "raw" or "raw_times_lambda" (the default) determines whether or not likelihoods plotted are adjusted by lambdas (likelihood weights)
Minimum change in likelihood (over range considered) as a fraction of change in total likelihood for a component to be included in the figure.
Kevin Piner says that he's not the originator of this idea so Athol Whitten is going to add a reference here.
