scale = 1, cex = 0.8, lwd = 0.25, lty = par("lty"))

Arguments

main The title of the plot
class The class
outliers instances to be highlighted as potential outliers
vars variable to be scaled
scale The scale factor
cex A numerical value giving the amount by which plotting text and symbols should be scaled.
