     This function creates Trellis displays of Empirical Cumulative
     Distribution Functions from flow cytometry data using a formula
     interface.

     ## S4 method for signature 'formula, flowSet':

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: a formula describing the structure of the plot and the
          variables to be used in the display.  For the prepanel and
          panel functions, a vector of names for the flow frames to be
          used in the panel. 

    data: a 'flowSet' object that serves as a source of data 

xlab, ylab: Labels for data axes, with suitable defaults taken from the
          formula 

 f.value: determines the number of points used in the plot 'ecdfplot'
          for details.  

    type: type of rendering; by default lines are drawn 

as.table: logical; whether to draw panels from top left 

     ref: logical; whether to add reference lines at 0 and 1 

  frames: environment containing frame-specific data 

 channel: expression involving names of columns in the data 

groups, subscripts: grouping variable, if specified, and subscripts
          indexing which frames are being used in the panel.  See
          'xyplot' for details.  

col, col.points, pch, cex, alpha, col.line, lty, lwd: vector of
          graphical parameters that are replicated for each group 

     ...: more arguments, usually passed on to the underlying lattice
          methods and the panel function. 

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:


     _e_c_d_f_p_l_o_t 'signature(x = "formula", data = "flowSet")': plote
          empirical CDF for a given channel, with one or more samples
          per panel

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     Not all standard lattice arguments will have the intended effect,
     but many should.  For a fuller description of possible arguments
     and their effects, consult documentation on lattice.
