## Parallel Coordinate Plot

### Description

Constructs a parallel coordinate plot for a data set with classes

### Usage

    parallelplot(x, name = "", comb = 0, class = 0, obs = rep(0, 0),
    col = 2, lty = 1, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | matrix of numerical values with classes in last column
`name` | name of data set as will appear in the graph title
`comb` | if comb=0, all distinct combinations of columns are graphed, else should be an integer that represents the number of one of the possible combinations for the columns of this matrix.
`class` | value representing the class number to which the plot should be limited
`obs` | list of one or more row numbers that are to be highlighted in the plot
`col` | value that provides a choice of color for the plot if limited to one class
`lty` | value that provides a choice of line width for the plot if limited to one class
`...` | additional arguments for the matplot function

### Details

This plot is not recommended for a large number of features (say more than 50)

### Value

A parallel coordinate plot of the data is produced
