[R-SIG-Finance] How to scroll in time in a quantmod chart?

[Wayne.W.Jones at shell.com]

Hi there, 

Another suggestion is the animations package from CRAN. 
This is great for producing a series of plots that you can very easily scroll back and forth through. 
See for example:

Another method would be to use the rpanel package to very easily generate tkrplots!

library(rpanel)
help(rp.tkrplot)
help(rp.doublebutton)

So far, this helps very nicely. I'll try it.

Cheerio, Michael
