\title{Plot regression terms}
\description{
  Plots regression terms against their predictors, optionally with
  standard errors and partial residuals added.

termplot(model, data=NULL, envir=environment(formula(model)),

\arguments{
  \item{model}{fitted model object}
  \item{data}{data frame in which variables in \code{model} can be
    found}
  \item{envir}{environment in which variables in \code{model} can be found}
  \item{partial.resid}{logical; should partial residuals be plotted?}
  \item{rug}{add \link{rug}plots (jittered 1-d histograms) to the axes?}
  \item{terms}{which terms to plot (default \code{NULL} means all terms)}
  \item{se}{plot pointwise standard errors?}
  \item{xlabs}{vector of labels for the x axes}
  \item{ylabs}{vector of labels for the y axes}
  \item{main}{logical, or vector of main titles;  if \code{TRUE}, the
    model's call is taken as main title, \code{NULL} or \code{FALSE} mean
    no titles.}
  \item{col.term, lwd.term}{color and line width for the \dQuote{term curve},
    see \code{\link{lines}}.}
  \item{col.se, lty.se, lwd.se}{color, line type and line width for the
    \dQuote{twice-standard-error curve} when \code{se = TRUE}.}
  \item{col.res, cex, pch}{color, plotting character expansion and type
    for partial residuals, when \code{partial.resid = TRUE}, see
    \code{\link{points}}.}
   \item{ask}{logical; if \code{TRUE}, the user is \emph{ask}ed before
     each plot, see \code{\link{par}(ask=.)}.}
   \item{use.factor.levels}{Should x-axis ticks use factor levels or
     numbers for factor terms?}
   \item{smooth}{\code{NULL} or a function with the same arguments as
     \code{\link{panel.smooth}} to draw a smooth through the partial
     residuals for non-factor terms}
   \item{lty.smth,col.smth, span.smth}{Passed to \code{smooth}}
  \item{\dots}{other graphical parameters}
}
\details{
  The model object must have a \code{predict} method that accepts
  \code{type=terms}, eg \code{\link{glm}} in the \pkg{base} package,
  \code{\link[survival]{coxph}} and \code{\link[survival]{survreg}} in
  the \pkg{survival} package.

  For the \code{partial.resid=TRUE} option it must have a
  \code{\link{residuals}} method that accepts \code{type="partial"},
  which \code{\link{lm}} and \code{\link{glm}} do.

  The \code{data} argument should rarely be needed, but in some cases
  \code{termplot} may be unable to reconstruct the original data
  frame. Using \code{na.action=na.exclude} makes these problems less likely.

  Nothing sensible happens for interaction terms.
