[R] finding the code underneath a generic function

[R. Michael Weylandt]

A more detailed description is available in Circle 7 of the R Inferno
(among other places), but the short answer is you type methods(plot)
to see all the different plot functions and then just type the name of
the specific method to get the code. If you know which method you are
going for, you can usually call it directly: e.g., plot.ecdf
