#' Chart of Capture Ratios against a benchmark
#' 
#' Scatter plot of Up Capture versus Down Capture against a benchmark
#' 
#' Scatter plot shows the coordinates of each set of returns' Up and Down
#' Capture against a benchmark.  The benchmark value is by definition plotted
#' at (1,1) with solid crosshairs.  A diagonal dashed line with slope equal to
#' 1 divides the plot into two regions: above that line the UpCapture exceeds
#' the DownCapture, and vice versa.
#' 
#' @param Ra Returns to test, e.g., the asset to be examined
#' @param Rb Returns of a benchmark to compare the asset with
#' @param main Set the chart title, same as in \code{plot}
#' @param add.names Plots the row name with the data point.  Default TRUE. Can
#' be removed by setting it to NULL
#' @param xlab Set the x-axis label, as in \code{\link{plot}}
#' @param ylab Set the y-axis label, as in \code{\link{plot}}
#' @param colorset Color palette to use, set by default to "black"
#' @param symbolset From \code{pch} in \code{\link{plot}}. Submit a set of
#' symbols to be used in the same order as the data sets submitted
#' @param legend.loc Places a legend into one of nine locations on the chart:
#' bottomright, bottom, bottomleft, left, topleft, top, topright, right, or
#' center.
#' @param xlim set the x-axis limit, same as in \code{\link{plot}}
#' @param ylim set the y-axis limit, same as in \code{\link{plot}}
#' @param cex.axis The magnification to be used for axis annotation relative to
#' the current setting of 'cex', same as in \code{\link{plot}}.
#' @param cex.legend The magnification to be used for sizing the legend
#' relative to the current setting of 'cex'.
#' @param cex.main The magnification to be used for sizing the title relative
#' to the current setting of 'cex'.
#' @param cex.lab The magnification to be used for x and y labels relative to
#' the current setting of 'cex'.
#' @param element.color Specify the color of the box, axes, and other chart
#' elements.  Default is "darkgray"
#' @param benchmark.color Specify the color of the benchmark reference and
#' crosshairs.  Default is "darkgray"
#' @param \dots Any other passthru parameters to \code{plot}

    # DESCRIPTION:

    # A wrapper to create a scatter chart of upside capture versus 
    # downside capture for comparing manager peRformance.

    # Inputs:
    # R = usually a set of monthly return.
    # add.names = plots the row name with the data point.  Can be removed with
    #   by setting it to NULL.
