## Very basic plotting of flowFrames

### Description

A basic method to plot `flowFrame` objects. Depending on the number of dimensions, different types of plots are generates. See below for details.

### Details

Basic plots for `flowFrame` objects. If the object has only a single parameter this produces a `histogram`. For exactly two parameters we plot a bivariate density map (see `smoothScatter`) and for more than two parameters we produce a simple `splom` plot. To select specific parameters from a `flowFrame` for plotting, either subset the object or specify the parameters as a character vector in the second argument to `plot`. The `smooth` parameters lets you toggle between density-type `smoothScatter` plots and regular scatter- or pairs plots. For far more sophisticated plotting of flow cytometry data, see the lattice-style plot methods provided by this package.

### Methods

x = "flowFrame", y = "ANY"
  We decide on the number of parameters in the `flowFrame`which plot type to use.
x = "flowFrame", y = "missing"
  see above
x = "flowFrame", y = "character"
  The parameters to plot are given as a second argument in the form of a character vector.
