[R-SIG-Finance] Multiple quantmod charts on one plot ?

[Jeff Ryan]

Hi Ulrich,

One of the weaknesses to the original quantmod charts is the
difficulty in layout.

The (very dated) examples on the site are made by carefully managing
the layout (final expected layout) with the R function... 'layout'.

Search the list for some examples of how to do this, but suffice it to
say here that the answer revolves around 'layout' and passing
layout=NULL to the charting calls.

The newest R-forge version fixes all of this.  The code you have below
is essentially how you would use the new version, though lineChart and
co. are not yet available as wrappers.

chart_Series and add_TA will get most of what you want done, and
feedback is appreciated as I hope to get this to CRAN now that the
R/Finance conference is over.

Eventually the names will move back to the old chartSeries etc
convention, but for now to keep some sanity in old code, I will
provide both old and new functionality.

HTH
Jeff
