[R-SIG-Finance] Problem with plot.xts

[Jeff Ryan]

Pierre,

xts wasn't meant to include much in the way of graphics. quantmod was
designed for that.

For more complete standard graphical capabilities simply convert to zoo.

plot(as.zoo(x))

If there is a need at some point that can't be sufficiently addressed
with zoo or quantmod, it may be a good case for extending xts in that
direction, but for now the above alternatives are better.

Best,
Jeff
