+\description{
+  \code{plot} method for \code{BinaryTree} objects with

+\usage{
+\method{plot}{BinaryTree}(x, main = NULL, type = c("extended", "simple"),
+     terminal_panel = NULL, tp_args = list(),
+     inner_panel = node_inner, ip_args = list(),
+     edge_panel = edge_simple, ep_args = list(),
+     drop_terminal = (type[1] == "extended"), 
+     tnex = (type[1] == "extended") + 1, newpage = TRUE,  
+     pop = TRUE, \dots)
+}
+
+\arguments{
+  \item{x}{ an object of class \code{BinaryTree}.}
+  \item{main}{ an optional title for the plot.}
+  \item{type}{ a character specifying the complexity of the plot:
+               \code{extended} tries to visualize the distribution of the
+               response variable in each terminal node whereas \code{simple} 
+               only gives some summary information.}
+  \item{terminal_panel}{ an optional panel function of the form 
+                         \code{function(node)} plotting the terminal nodes.
+                         Alternatively, a panel generating function of class
+			 \code{"grapcon_generator"} that is called with arguments
+			 \code{x} and \code{tp_args} to set up a panel function.
+			 By default, an appropriate panel function is chosen 
+			 depending on the scale of the dependent variable.}
+  \item{tp_args}{ a list of arguments passed to \code{terminal_panel} if this
+                  is a \code{"grapcon_generator"} object.}
+  \item{inner_panel}{ an optional panel function of the form 
+                         \code{function(node)} plotting the inner nodes.
+                         Alternatively, a panel generating function of class
+			 \code{"grapcon_generator"} that is called with arguments
+			 \code{x} and \code{ip_args} to set up a panel function.}
+  \item{ip_args}{ a list of arguments passed to \code{inner_panel} if this
+                  is a \code{"grapcon_generator"} object.}
+  \item{edge_panel}{ an optional panel function of the form 
+                    \code{function(split, ordered = FALSE, left = TRUE)}
+                    plotting the edges.
+                    Alternatively, a panel generating function of class
+		    \code{"grapcon_generator"} that is called with arguments
+		    \code{x} and \code{ip_args} to set up a panel function.}		       
+  \item{ep_args}{ a list of arguments passed to \code{edge_panel} if this
+                  is a \code{"grapcon_generator"} object.}
+  \item{drop_terminal}{ a logical indicating whether all terminal nodes
+                        should be plotted at the bottom.}
+  \item{tnex}{a numeric value giving the terminal node extension in relation
+    to the inner nodes.}
+  \item{newpage}{ a logical indicating whether \code{grid.newpage()} should be called. }
+  \item{pop}{ a logical whether the viewport tree should be popped before
+              return. }
+  \item{\dots}{ additional arguments passed to callies.}

+
+\details{
+  This \code{plot} method for \code{BinaryTree} objects provides an
+  extensible framework for the visualization of binary regression trees. The
+  user is allowed to specify panel functions for plotting terminal and inner
+  nodes as well as the corresponding edges. Panel functions for plotting
+  inner nodes, edges and terminal nodes are available for the most important
+  cases and can serve as the basis for user-supplied extensions, see
+  \code{\link{node_inner}} and \code{vignette("party")}.
+
+  More details on the ideas and concepts of panel-generating functions and
+  \code{"grapcon_generator"} objects in general can be found in Meyer, Zeileis
+  and Hornik (2005).
