Add a panel to an existing xts plot

Description

Apply a function to the data of an existing xts plot object and plot the result on an existing or new panel. FUN should have arguments x or R for the data of the existing xts plot object to be passed to. All other additional arguments for FUN are passed through ....

addPanel(
  FUN,
  main = "",
  on = NA,
  type = "l",
  col = NULL,
  lty = 1,
  lwd = 1,
  pch = 1,
  ...
)

library(xts)
data(sample_matrix)
sample.xts <- as.xts(sample_matrix)

calcReturns <- function(price, method = c("discrete", "log")){
  px <- try.xts(price)
  method <- match.arg(method)[1L]
  returns <- switch(method,
    simple = ,
    discrete = px / lag(px) - 1,
    compound = ,
    log = diff(log(px)))
  reclass(returns, px)
}

# plot the Close
plot(sample.xts[,"Close"])
# calculate returns 
addPanel(calcReturns, method = "discrete", type = "h")
# Add simple moving average to panel 1
addPanel(rollmean, k = 20, on = 1)
addPanel(rollmean, k = 40, col = "blue", on = 1)
