xtsplot {dsa}

Create a plot for xts series

Description

Creates a plot using an xts series

Usage

xtsplot(
  xts,
  transform = "none",
  type = "line",
  years = NA,
  scale = 1,
  names = NA,
  color = NA,
  main = "",
  legend = NA,
  textsize = 1,
  textsize_x = NA,
  textsize_y = NA,
  textsize_legend = NA,
  textsize_title = NA,
  linesize = 1.1,
  WeekOfYear = F,
  date_breaks = NA,
  date_labels = NA,
  submain = NULL
)

Arguments

xts

one or many series

transform

one of "none","diff", "change" (can be abbreviated)

type

either "bar", "bar2" or "line"

years

number of years to include

scale

by what factor should data be scaled.

names

change names of series

color

color of the series

main

title of the plot

legend

alignment of legend. "horizontal" or "vertical"

textsize

scale the size of all the text

textsize_x

scale size of x-axis labels

textsize_y

scale size of y-axis labels

textsize_legend

scale size of legend text

textsize_title

scale size of title

linesize

scale the size of the lines

WeekOfYear

should x axis be week of year

date_breaks

distance between labels (see examples)

date_labels

format of the date label for x-axis

submain

subtitle of the plot

Details

This function uses the ggplot2 package. The difference between type="bar" and type="bar2" is that the former produces barcharts with bars of the second series in front of the bars of the first series (and accordingly for more than two series), while "bar2" creates side-by-side barcharts. If a scale is supplied, the data will be divided by this number.

Examples

x <- xts::xts(rnorm(100), seq.Date(as.Date("2010-01-01"), length.out=100, by="months"))
y <- xts::xts(runif(100), seq.Date(as.Date("2010-01-01"), length.out=100, by="months"))
xtsplot(y, transform="diff", type="bar")
xtsplot(y, transform="diff", type="bar", date_breaks="24 months")
xtsplot(merge(x,y), names=c("Gaussian", "Uniform"), main="Simulated series")
