fanchart(x, colors = NULL, cis = NULL, names = NULL, main = NULL, ylab =
NULL, xlab = NULL, col.y = NULL, nc, plot.type = c("multiple",
"single"), mar = par("mar"), oma = par("oma"), ... )

`x`	An object of class ‘`varprd`’; generated by `predict()`.
`colors`	Character vector of colors to be used for shading. If unset, a gray color scheme is used.
`cis`	A numeric vector of confidence intervals. If unset the sequence from 0.1 to 0.9 is used (step size 0.1).
`names`	Character vector, names of variables for fancharts. If unset, all variables are plotted.
`main`	Character vector, title for fanchart plots.
`ylab`	Character, ylab for fanchart.
`xlab`	Character, xlab for fanchart.
`col.y`	Character, color for plotted time series.
`plot.type`	Character, if multiple all fancharts appear in one device.
`nc`	Integer, number of columns if plot.type is multiple.
`mar`	Vector, setting of margins.
`oma`	Vector, setting of outer margins.
`...`	Dot argument, passed to plot.ts.
