legend: internal functions for setting useful defaults for graphs

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

Description

Internal functions and data objects to make graphs easier to read, and better for print and presentation.

Usage

legend(x, y = NULL, legend, fill = NULL, col = par("col"), lty, lwd, pch,
  angle = 45, density = NULL, bty = "o", bg = par("bg"), pt.bg = NA,
  cex = 1, pt.cex = cex, pt.lwd = lwd, xjust = 0, yjust = 1,
  x.intersp = 1, y.intersp = 1, adj = c(0, 0.5), text.width = NULL,
  text.col = par("col"), merge = do.lines && has.pch, trace = FALSE,
  plot = TRUE, ncol = 1, horiz = FALSE, title = NULL, inset = 0,
  border.col = NULL, border.lwd = 1, border.lty = "solid",
  box.col = NULL, box.lwd = 1, box.lty = "solid")

Arguments

x,y	the x and y co-ordinates to be used to position the legend. They can be specified by keyword or in any way which is accepted by xy.coords: See Details.
legend	a character or expression vector. of length >= 1 to appear in the legend.
fill	if specified, this argument will cause boxes filled with the specified colors (or shaded in the specified colors) to appear beside the legend text.
col	the color of points or lines appearing in the legend.
lty,lwd	the line types and widths for lines appearing in the legend. One of these two must be specified for line drawing.
pch	the plotting symbols appearing in the legend, either as vector of 1-character strings, or one (multi character) string. Must be specified for symbol drawing.
angle	angle of shading lines.
density	the density of shading lines, if numeric and positive. If NULL or negative or NA color filling is assumed.
bty	the type of box to be drawn around the legend. The allowed values are "o" (the default) and "n".
bg	the background color for the legend box. (Note that this is only used if bty != "n".)
box.lty,box.lwd	the line type and width for the legend box.
border.lty,border.lwd	the line type and width for the legend border.
pt.bg	the background color for the points, corresponding to its argument bg.
cex	character expansion factor relative to current par("cex").
pt.cex	expansion factor(s) for the points.
pt.lwd	line width for the points, defaults to the one for lines, or if that is not set, to par("lwd").
xjust	how the legend is to be justified relative to the legend x location. A value of 0 means left justified, 0.5 means centered and 1 means right justified.
yjust	the same as xjust for the legend y location.
x.intersp	character interspacing factor for horizontal (x) spacing.
y.intersp	the same for vertical (y) line distances.
adj	numeric of length 1 or 2; the string adjustment for legend text. Useful for y-adjustment when labels are plotmath expressions.
text.width	the width of the legend text in x ("user") coordinates. (Should be positive even for a reversed x axis.) Defaults to the proper value computed by strwidth(legend).
text.col	the color used for the legend text.
merge	logical; if TRUE, “merge” points and lines but not filled boxes. Defaults to TRUE if there are points and lines.
trace	logical; if TRUE, shows how legend does all its magical computations.
plot	logical. If FALSE, nothing is plotted but the sizes are returned.
ncol	the number of columns in which to set the legend items (default is 1, a vertical legend).
horiz	logical; if TRUE, set the legend horizontally rather than vertically (specifying horiz overrides the ncol specification).
title	a character string or length-one expression giving a title to be placed at the top of the legend.
inset	inset distance(s) from the margins as a fraction of the plot region when legend is placed by keyword.

Details

Also contains common economic cycle dates and dates of serious market events per asset class.

All items ending in .labels or .dates contain labels or dates that would be appropriate for specific asset classes or economic cycles.

legend is a wrapper function for legend to better handle placement and formatting of a legend for the charts

all objects ending in symbol are symbol sets for line charts.
