chart.Bar: wrapper for barchart of returns

In guillermozbta/portafolio-master: Econometric tools for performance and risk analysis.

Description

A wrapper to create a chart of periodic returns in a bar chart. This is a difficult enough graph to read that it doesn't get much use. Still, it is useful for viewing a single set of data.

Usage

chart.Bar(R, legend.loc = NULL, colorset = (1:12), ...)

charts.Bar(R, main = "Returns", cex.legend = 0.8, cex.main = 1, ...)

Arguments

R	an xts, vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of asset returns
legend.loc	places a legend into one of nine locations on the chart: bottomright, bottom, bottomleft, left, topleft, top, topright, right, or center
colorset	color palette to use, set by default to rational choices
cex.legend	sets the legend text size, such as in chart.TimeSeries
cex.main	sets the title text size, such as in chart.TimeSeries
main	sets the title text, such as in chart.TimeSeries
...	any other passthru parameters, see plot

Details

This is really a wrapper for chart.TimeSeries, so several other attributes can also be passed.

Creates a plot of time on the x-axis and vertical lines for each period to indicate value on the y-axis.
