stockplot: Stock Plot

In wjunger/ares: Environmental air pollution epidemiology: a library for time series analysis

Description

Produce a stock type plot

Usage

stockplot(mid, low, high, ref.line = NULL, xlabels = seq(1:length(mid)), ticks = 20,
	mid.pch = 19, lim.pch = 15, graph.scale = NULL, ylim = NULL, ...)

Arguments

mid	a vector of mid points for the bars, usually mean values
low	a vector of low points for the bars, usually minimum values
high	a vector of high points for the bars, usually maximum values
ref.line	the position on the y-axis to draw a horizontal line. If is set to NULL no line is drawn. Default is NULL
xlabels	a vector of alternate labels for the bars
ticks	an integer indicating the number of tick marks. Default is 20
mid.pch	a number or character indicating the symbol to be used for mid points. Default is a filled circle
lim.pch	a number or character indicating the symbol to be used for end points. Default is a filled square
graph.scale	can be either a logical or a vector with the axis limits. If TRUE or a vector all the graphs will share the same y-axis scale
ylim	limits for the y-axis scale. If omitted it is computed from values
...	further options for plot

Details

This function implements a stock type plot. Often used to represent stock prices closure, it can indicate the average value at the centre of a bar and minimum and maximum values at the ends of the bar. This plot is very useful to represent statistics and their confidence intervals in a convenient way.

This function is used by plot_risk.

Value

This function does not return a value.
