wrapper for barchart of returns

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), ...)

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
... any other passthru parameters, see plot

Details

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

Value

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