Plotting methods for xts objects.
## S3 method for class 'xts':
plot(x, y = NULL,
type = "l",
auto.grid = TRUE,
major.ticks = "auto",
minor.ticks = TRUE,
bar.col = "grey",
candle.col = "white",
ann = TRUE, axes = TRUE, ...)
x |
an xts object |
y |
an xts object or NULL |
type |
type of plot to produce |
auto.grid |
should grid lines be drawn |
major.ticks |
should major tickmarks be drawn and labeled |
minor.ticks |
should minor tickmarks be drawn |
bar.col |
the color of the bars when type is ‘bars’ or ‘candles’ |
candle.col |
the color of the candles when type is ‘candles’ |
ann |
passed ‘par’ graphical parameter |
axes |
passed ‘par’ graphical parameter |
... |
additional graphical arguments |
Mainly used to draw time-series plots with sensible x-axis labels, it
can also plot basic OHLC series using type='candles' or type='bars'.
Better financial plots can be found in the quantmod package, though these are generally incompatible with standard R graphics tools.
