\title{
Plot a sample variogram, and possibly a fitted model
}
\description{
Creates a variogram plot
}
\usage{
\method{plot}{gstatVariogram}(x, model = NULL, ylim, xlim, xlab = "distance", 
	ylab = attr(x, "what"), panel = vgm.panel.xyplot, multipanel = TRUE, 
	plot.numbers = FALSE, scales, ids = x$id, group.id = TRUE, skip, 
	layout, ...)
\method{plot}{variogramMap}(x, np = FALSE, skip, threshold, ...)
\method{plot}{StVariogram}(x, model = NULL, ..., col = bpy.colors(), xlab, ylab, 
	map = TRUE, convertMonths = FALSE, as.table = TRUE, wireframe = FALSE, 
	diff = FALSE, all = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{ object obtained from the method 
\link{variogram}, possibly containing directional or cross variograms,
space-time variograms and variogram model information }
\item{model}{in case of a single variogram: a variogram model, as 
obtained from \link{vgm} or \link{fit.variogram}, to be drawn as 
a line in the variogram plot; in case of a set of variograms and
cross variograms: a list with variogram models; in the spatio-temporal case,
a single or a list of spatio-temporal models that will be plotted next to each
other for visual comparison.}
\item{ylim}{ numeric; vector of length 2, limits of the y-axis}
\item{xlim}{ numeric; vector of length 2, limits of the x-axis}
\item{xlab}{ character; x-axis label }
\item{ylab}{ character; y-axis label }
\item{panel}{ panel function }
\item{multipanel}{ logical; if TRUE, directional variograms are plotted in
different panels, if FALSE, directional variograms are plotted in the same
graph, using color, colored lines and symbols to distinguish them }
\item{plot.numbers}{ logical or numeric; if TRUE, plot number of point pairs next to
each plotted semivariance symbol, if FALSE these are omitted. 
If numeric, TRUE is assumed and the value is passed as the relative distance to be used between symbols
and numeric text values (default 0.03). }
\item{scales}{ optional argument that will be passed to \code{xyplot} in
case of the plotting of variograms and cross variograms; use the value
\code{list(relation = "same")} if y-axes need to share scales }
\item{ids}{ ids of the data variables and variable pairs }
\item{group.id}{ logical; control for directional multivariate variograms:
if TRUE, panels divide direction and colors indicate variables
(ids), if FALSE panels divide variables/variable pairs and colors
indicate direction}
\item{skip}{ logical; can be used to arrange panels, see \code{xyplot}}
\item{layout}{ integer vector; can be used to set panel layout: c(ncol,nrow) }
\item{np}{ logical (only for plotting variogram maps); if TRUE, plot number of point pairs, if FALSE plot
semivariances }
\item{threshold}{semivariogram map values based on fewer point pairs
than threshold will not be plotted}
\item{\dots}{ any arguments that will be passed to the panel plotting functions
(such as \code{auto.key} in examples below) }
\item{col}{colors to use}
\item{map}{logical; if TRUE, plot space-time variogram map}
\item{convertMonths}{logical; if TRUE, \code{yearmon} time lags will
be unit converted and plotted as (integer) months, and no longer match the
numeric representation of \code{yearmon}, which has years as unit }
\item{as.table}{controls the plotting order for multiple panels, see \code{\link{xyplot}} for details.}
\item{wireframe}{logical; if TRUE, produce a wireframe plot}
\item{diff}{logical; if TRUE, plot difference between model and sample variogram; ignores \code{all}.}
\item{all}{logical; if TRUE, plot sample and model variogram(s) in single wireframes.}
}
\value{
returns (or plots) the variogram plot
}
\details{Please note that in the spatio-temporal case the levelplot and wireframe plots use the spatial distances averaged for each time lag \code{avgDist}. For strongly varying spatial locations over time, please check the distance columns \code{dist} and \code{avgDist} of the spatio-temporal sample variogram. The \code{lattice::cloud} function is one option to plot irregular 3D data.}

\note{ currently, plotting models and/or point pair numbers is not
supported when a variogram is both directional and multivariable; also,
three-dimensional directional variograms will probably not be displayed
correctly. }
