### Description

This functions implements a `plot` method for raster images.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'raster'
    plot(x, y,
         xlim = c(0, ncol(x)), ylim = c(0, nrow(x)),
         xaxs = "i", yaxs = "i",
         asp = 1, add = FALSE, ...)

### Arguments

`x, y` | raster. `y` will be ignored.
`xlim, ylim` | Limits on the plot region (default from dimensions of the raster.
`xaxs, yaxs` | Axis interval calculation style (default means that raster fills plot region.
`asp` | Aspect ratio (default retains aspect ratio of the raster).
`add` | Logical indicating whether to simply add raster to an existing plot.
`...` | Further arguments to the `rasterImage` function.

### Examples

    require(grDevices)
    r <- as.raster(c(0.5, 1, 0.5))
    plot(r)
    # additional arguments to rasterImage()
    plot(r, interpolate=FALSE)
    # distort
    plot(r, asp=NA)
    # fill page
    op <- par(mar=rep(0, 4))
    plot(r, asp=NA)
    par(op)
    # normal annotations work
    plot(r, asp=NA)
    box()
    title(main="This is my raster")
    # add to existing plot
    plot(1)
    plot(r, add=TRUE)
