[R-SIG-Finance] quantmod: overlaying time series bar charts

[Dai, Jiqiong]

In  quantmod:::chartSeries.chob, comment out:

rect(coords[1], coords[3], coords[2], coords[4], col = x at colors$area)

You will make it.

Sebastian,

At present you can't do that on one graphical region.

If you would like two plotted above and below each other, this would be
a solution:

layout(matrix(1:2, nrow=2))
chartSeries(ts1, layout=NULL, TA=NULL)
chartSeries(ts2, layout=NULL, TA=NULL)
layout(1)

The first layout call will have to be adjusted if you make use of
additional TA windows. ?layout is the place to start for that.

Just curious, as this has been requested before, what is your use
case/rationale for the overlay?

Unless the series share the same scale, the charts are bound to be very
confusing.  Even with the same scale I am not too sure you will be
deriving any information from the overlay.
