_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Display methods for objects of class '"its"'.

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

     'plot' is the method for plotting irregular time-series objects.
     All series are displayed on a single set of axes, by default using
     different colours, linetypes, and widths.  If the vectors defining
     these attributes are  short, they are cycled.  'lab' and 'leg' are
     alternatives for labelling  the curves - these are located using
     function 'labcurve()' from package  Hmisc on CRAN.

     'print' is the method for printing irregular time-series objects.
     The format for the dates is determined at the time the 'its'
     object is created.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     The methods are called for their side-effects.

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

     plot(x,y,colvec=1:ncol(x),type="l",ltypvec=1,lwdvec=1,
     leg=FALSE,lab=FALSE,yrange,format,at,interp=c("linear","none"),...
     ) print(x,...)

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

     _x an object of class '"its"'

     _y missing

     _t_y_p_e plot type, "l" for line, "p" for point, "b" for both - see
          'par'.

     _c_o_l_v_e_c,_l_t_y_p_v_e_c,_l_w_d_v_e_c vectors of colour codes, line types, and
          line widths: see 'par'.

     _l_e_g logical flag to display legend; uses 'labcurve' in package
          'Hmisc' for auto-position.

     _l_a_b logical flag to display labels; uses 'labcurve' in package
          'Hmisc' for auto-position.

     _y_r_a_n_g_e ordinate range for display.

     _f_o_r_m_a_t a formatting string, see 'format.POSIXct', for the axis
          dates

     _a_t a vector of POSIX dates defining tickmark locations on axis:
          see 'axis.POSIXct'

     _i_n_t_e_r_p a flag, indicating for plot of type line, how NA vallues
          are interpolated

     ... further arguments passed to or from other methods: for 'plot'
          passed to 'plot'.; for 'print' passed to 'print.matrix'
