Plotting xts Objects

Plotting methods for xts objects.

Keywords: hplot

Usage

# S3 method for xts
plot(x, y = NULL,
         type = "l", 
         auto.grid = TRUE,
         major.ticks = "auto",
         minor.ticks = TRUE,
         major.format = TRUE,
         bar.col = "grey",
         candle.col = "white",
         ann = TRUE, axes = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

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
major.format: passed along to axTicksByTime. See also
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

Details

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.

Value

Plots an xts object to the current device.

Examples

library(xts)

# NOT RUN {
data(sample_matrix)
plot(sample_matrix)
plot(as.xts(sample_matrix))
plot(as.xts(sample_matrix), type='candles')
# }
