_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Plot tframe or tframed objects.

_U_s_a_g_e:

         tfplot(x, ...)

         ## Default S3 method:
         tfplot(x, ..., tf=tfspan(x, ...), start=tfstart(tf), end=tfend(tf),
            series=seq(nseries(x)), Title=NULL, xlab=NULL, ylab=seriesNames(x), 
            graphs.per.page=5, mar=par()$mar, reset.screen=TRUE)
         tfOnePlot(x, xlab=NULL, ylab=NULL, 
                   tf=tframe(x), start=tfstart(tf), end=tfend(tf),...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: a tframe or tframed object to plot.

     ...: any additional tframed objects for the same plot.

   start: start of plot. (passed to tfwindow)

     end: end of plot. (passed to tfwindow)

      tf: a tframe or tframed object which can be used to specify start
          and end.

  series: series to be plotted. (passed to selectSeries)

   Title: string to use for plot title.

    xlab: string to use for x label (passed to plot).

    ylab: string to use for y label (passed to plot).

graphs.per.page: integer indicating number of graphs to place on a
          page.

     mar: margins passed to plot. See par.)

reset.screen: logical indicating if the plot window should be cleared
          before starting. If this is not TRUE then mar values will
          have no effect.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     In many cases these are the same as plot methods, however, tfplot
     puts different series in the object 'x' in different plot panels,
     whereas 'plot' usually puts them in the same panel. For this
     reason, 'tfplot' tends to work better when the scale of the
     different series are very different. If additional objects are
     supplied, then they should each have the same number of series as
     'x' and all corresponding series will be plotted in the same
     panel.

     'tfplot' provides an alternate generic mechanism for plotting time
     series data. New classes of time series may define there own
     'tfplot' (and 'plot') methods.

     The start and end arguments to tfplot  determine the start and end
     of the plot. The argument tf is an alternate way to specify the
     start and end. It is ignored if start and end are specified.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     None.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'tfprint' 'tframe' 'tframed' 'print' 'plot'

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

         tfplot(ts(rnorm(100), start=c(1982,1), frequency=12))
         tfplot(ts(rnorm(100), start=c(1982,1), frequency=12), start=c(1985,6))
