#' Plot a DAG
#'
#' Using some sensible defaults for large graphs, plot a DAG object. Uses \code{\link[igraph]{igraph}}
#' package by default.
#'
#' This method is not intended for customization. For more control over the output, use
#' \code{\link{plot}} and see \code{\link{setPlotPackage}} for plotting only and/or
#' \code{\link{setGraphPackage}} for even more control. These methods grants the user the full
#' feature set of the selected package.
#'
#' @param x An \code{\link{edgeList}}, \code{\link{sparsebnFit}}, or \code{\link{sparsebnPath}} object.
#' @param ... Additional arguments to \code{\link{plot}}.
