Currently displays standard style OHLC charts familiar
in financial applications, or line charts when
not passes OHLC data. Works with objects having explicit
time-series properties.Line charts are created with close data, or from single
column time series.
The subset
argument can be used to specify a
particular area of the series to view. The underlying
series is left intact to allow for TA functions to
use the full data set. Additionally, it is possible
to use syntax borrowed from the first
and last
functions, e.g. last 4 months.
TA
allows for the inclusion of a variety of
chart overlays and tecnical indicators. A full list is
available from addTA
. The default TA argument is
addVo()
- which adds volume, if available, to the
chart being drawn.
theme
requires an object of class chart.theme
, created
by a call to chartTheme
. This function can be used to modify the
look of the resulting chart. See chart.theme
for details.
line.type
and bar.type
allow further fine tuning of
chart styles to user tastes.
multi.col
implements a color coding scheme used in some
charting applications, and follows the following rules:
{ => Op[t] < Cl[t] and Op[t] < Cl[t-1]}
- white
{ => Op[t] < Cl[t] and Op[t] > Cl[t-1]}
- red
{ => Op[t] > Cl[t] and Op[t] < Cl[t-1]}
- black
{ => Op[t] > Cl[t] and Op[t] > Cl[t-1]}
