Cash Flow Plot

Description

A cash flow plot is a plot used in finance and allows you to graphically depict the timing of the cash flows as well as their nature as either inflows or outflows. An "up" arrow represents money received and a "down" arrow money paid out.

Usage

PlotCashFlow(x, y, xlim = NULL, labels = y, mar = NULL, 
             cex.per = par("cex"), cex.tck = par("cex") * 0.8, 
             cex.cash = par("cex"))

Arguments

x	time period of the cashflows (in and out)
y	amount of the cashflows
xlim	range of the x-axis, defaults to range(x).
labels	the labels of the cashflows will be printed outside the arrows.
mar	a vector with 4 elements, defining the margins for the plot
cex.per	the character extension for the period labels
cex.tck	character extension for the ticklabels, tipically years
cex.cash	the character extension for the labels of the cashflows
