[R] intraday OHLC plot

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Try this:

Lines <- '"Date (GMT)"	"Open"	"High"	"Low"	"Last"
17-03-2008 00:00:00	1,5764	1,5766	1,5747	1,5750
17-03-2008 00:05:00	1,5749	1,5750	1,5741	1,5744
17-03-2008 00:10:00	1,5745	1,5762	1,5741	1,5749'
DF <- read.delim2(textConnection(Lines))

library(quantmod)
z <- read.zoo(textConnection(Lines), # replace with "myfile.dat"
    header = TRUE, sep = "\t", dec = ",",
    format = "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S", tz = "")
q <- as.quantmod.OHLC(z, col.names = c("Open", "High", "Low", "Close"))
chartSeries(q)

Look at the zoo, quantmod and xts packages for more info.
