[R] Trying to use chartSeries in quantmod

[Adrian Berg]

Thanks to mrflick on Freenode, I was able to get chartSeries to plot the data.

data$date<-strptime(data$date, format="%Y-%m-%d")
dataxts<-xts(data$price, order.by=data$date)
chartSeries(dataxts)

chartSeries(dataxts, type="candlesticks") plots the same graph though:

Why is this?
