#' Plots a matrix as an image
#'
#' @param A a matrix to be plotted
#' @param add.values boolean indicating if matrix values are to be written into
#'  matrix element boxes
#' @param main overall title for the plot
#' @param sub sub-title of the plot
#' @param interpolate a logical vector (or scalar) indicating whether to apply
#'  linear interpolation to the image when drawing.
#' @param new.plot Recreating the plot area (clearing the plot device). can be
#'  used to update a plot but _not_ recreate it. Leads to smoother updating.
#' @param ... further arguments passed to \code{\link{rasterImage}}
