clean up Cluster plotting

[drbenvincent]

In Parametric.m we have some code with a long set of arguments passed in...

clusterPlot(...
    obj.coda,...
    obj.data,...
    [1 0 0],...
    obj.modelFilename,...
    obj.plotOptions,...
    obj.varList.discountFunctionParams)

meaning the the function signature has many entries

function clusterPlot(mcmcContainer, data, col, modelType, plotOptions, vars)
varNames = {vars.name};
if numel(varNames) == 1
	plot1Dclusters(mcmcContainer, data, col, modelType, plotOptions, vars);
elseif numel(varNames) == 2
	plot2Dclusters(mcmcContainer, data, col, modelType, plotOptions, vars);
else
	error('can only deal with plotting univariate or bivariate distributions')
end
end

which in turn means we are passing these values down yet again into plot1Dclusters.m or plot1Dclusters.m

Solutions

1. Inversion of control. ie create a clusterPlot function with the arguments included (using partials)
2. Polymorphism
