[R-SIG-Finance] quantmod - chart object (chob)

[Stanley Chu]

Hi Jeff & Brian,

Thanks for the reply. 

The idea is to be able to save the plot object for future reference, with minimal work to reproduce it, and to be able to use them freely in a document. For example, one may be able to use a viewport function to specify the layout. 
e.g. vplayout <- function(x, y) viewport(layout.pos.row = x, layout.pos.col = y), and use print(plot.list, vp = vplayout(x, y)) to place them in a document. Given a list of plot objects and defined "position" for each plot, the function should be able to render them accordingly in a document. 

I can probably use dev.copy2pdf and manually tile them, so no biggie. Thanks Jeff for your wonderful package(s). 


Thanks,
Stanley
