chart.Bar

wrapper for barchart of returns

Description

A wrapper to create a chart of periodic returns in a bar chart. This is a difficult enough graph to read that it doesn't get much use. Still, it is useful for viewing a single set of data.

Usage

chart.Bar(R, legend.loc = NULL, colorset = (1:12), ...)

charts.Bar(R, main = "Returns", cex.legend = 0.8, cex.main = 1, ...)

Arguments

`R`	an xts, vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of asset returns
`legend.loc`	places a legend into one of nine locations on the chart: bottomright, bottom, bottomleft, left, topleft, top, topright, right, or center
`colorset`	color palette to use, set by default to rational choices
`...`	any other passthru parameters, see `plot`
`main`	sets the title text, such as in `chart.TimeSeries`
`cex.legend`	sets the legend text size, such as in `chart.TimeSeries`
`cex.main`	sets the title text size, such as in `chart.TimeSeries`

Details

This is really a wrapper for chart.TimeSeries, so several other attributes can also be passed.

Creates a plot of time on the x-axis and vertical lines for each period to indicate value on the y-axis.
