[R-SIG-Finance] trying to plot coincident time series in quantmod...

[Jeff Ryan]

Hi Eugene,

addPoints isn't very useful.  I intend on adding wrapper functions to
the underlying base graphics functions in R, that will work with
quantmod.  Until then 'addTA' will do almost everything you would want
for simple additions.

Both of these work:

addTA(dat_[,'5x16'],type='p',col='red',pch=25,on=1)
addTA(dat_[,'7x24'],type='p',col='red',pch=25,on=1)


Key points:

** Don't convert dat_ from xts.  The timestamps are important.
** the "on" argument is where to draw.  In this case "1" is the main
window you want.
