\title{Plots The Fitted Values of a GAMLSS Model}
\description{
 This function, applicable only to a models with a single explanatory variable, plots the fitted values for all the parameters
  of a GAMLSS model against the (one) explanatory variable. It is also useful for comparing the fits for more than one model.  
}
\usage{
fittedPlot(object, ..., x = NULL, color = TRUE, line.type = FALSE, xlab = NULL)
}

\arguments{
  \item{object}{a fitted GAMLSS model object(with only one explanatory variable)}
  \item{\dots}{optionally more fitted GAMLSS model objects }
  \item{x}{The unique explanatory variable }
  \item{color}{whether the fitted lines plots are shown in colour, \code{color=TRUE} (the default) or not \code{color=FALSE}}
  \item{line.type}{whether the line type should be different or not. The default is  \code{color=FALSE}}
  \item{xlab}{the x-label}
}

\value{
 A plot of the fitted values against the explanatory variable
