           alternate.chrid=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x An object of class cross. See read.cross for details.
chr Optional vector indicating the chromosomes to be drawn in the plot. This should be a vector of character strings referring to chromosomes by name; numeric values are converted to strings. Refer to chromosomes with a preceding - to have all chromosomes but those considered. A logical (TRUE/FALSE) vector may also be used.
reorder Specify whether to reorder individuals according to their phenotypes.
FALSE Don't reorder
TRUE Reorder according to the sum of the phenotypes
n Reorder according to phenotype n
main Title to place on plot.
alternate.chrid If TRUE and more than one chromosome is plotted, alternate the placement of chromosome axis labels, so that they may be more easily distinguished.
... Ignored at this point.
