dashboard {BETS}

Create a BETS custom dashboard

Description

Usage

dashboard(type = "business_cycle", charts = "all", saveas = NA,
  parameters = NULL)

Arguments

A character. The theme of the dashboard. The only three options, for the time being, is 'business_cycle', 'macro_situation' and 'custom'. Custom dashboards can be rendered with any given set of charts.

charts
