     dtomogplot is used to produce a tomography plot (see King, 1997)
     for a series of temporally ordered, partially observed 2 x 2
     contingency tables.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     dtomogplot(r0, r1, c0, c1, time.vec=NA,
                xlab="fraction of r0 in c0 (p0)",
                ylab="fraction of r1 in c0 (p1)",
                color.palette=heat.colors, bgcol="black", ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

      r0: An (ntables * 1) vector of row sums from row 0.

      r1: An (ntables * 1) vector of row sums from row 1.

      c0: An (ntables * 1) vector of column sums from column 0.

      c1: An (ntables * 1) vector of column sums from column 1.

time.vec: Vector of time periods that correspond to the elements of r0,
          r1, c0, and c1.

    xlab: The x axis label for the plot.

    ylab: The y axis label for the plot.

color.palette: Color palette to be used to encode temporal patterns.

   bgcol: The background color for the plot.

     ...: further arguments to be passed

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Consider the following partially observed 2 by 2 contingency
     table:


                  | Y=0      | Y=1      |
       - - - - -  - - - - -  - - - - -  - - - - -
       X=0        | Y0       |          | r0
       - - - - -  - - - - -  - - - - -  - - - - -
       X=1        | Y1       |          | r1
       - - - - -  - - - - -  - - - - -  - - - - -
                  | c0       | c1       | N

     where r0, r1, c0, c1, and N  are non-negative integers that are
     observed. The interior cell entries are not observed. It is
     assumed that Y0|r0 ~ Binomial(r0, p0) and Y1|r1 ~ Binomial(r1,p1).

     This function plots the bounds on the maximum likelihood estimates
     for (p0, p1) and color codes them by the elements of time.vec.
