Change Zoom Level Of Current Chart
Using xts style date subsetting, zoom into or out of the current chart.
zooom(n=1, eps=2) zoomChart(subset, yrange=NULL)
n |
the number of interactive view changes per call |
eps |
the distance between clicks to be considered a valid subset request |
subset |
a valid subset string |
yrange |
override y-scale |
These function allow for viewing of specific
areas of a chart produced by chartSeries
by simply specifying the dates of interest
zooom is an interactive chart version
of zoomChart which utilizes the standard
R device interaction tool locator to
estimate the subset desired. This estimate is
then passed to zoomChart for actual redrawing.
At present it is
quite experimental in its interface and arguments.
Its usage entails a call to zooom() followed
by the selection of the leftmost and rightmost points
desired in the newly zoomed chart. This selection
is accomplished by the user left-clicking each extreme
point. Two click are required to determine the level
of zooming. Double clicking will reset the chart to
the full data range. The arguments and internal
working of this function are likely to change dramatically
in future releases, though its use will likely remain.
Standard format for the subset argument
is the same as the subsetting for xts objects,
which is how the data is stored internally for
rendering.
Calling zoomChart with no arguments (NULL)
resets the chart to the original data.
Examples include '2007' for all of the year 2007,
'2007::2008' for years 2007 through 2008, '::2007'
for all data from the beginning of the set to the
end of 2007, '2007::' all data from the beginning of
2007 through the end of the data. For specifics
regarding the level of detail and internal interpretation
please see [.xts
This function is called for its side effect - notably changing the perspective of the current chart, and changing its formal subset level. The underlying data attached to the chart is left unchanged.
