[R-SIG-Finance] customizing format of yaxis annotation Performance Analytics

[Peter Carl]

Paul,

In the future, please post a reproducible example.

> ?chart.TimeSeries
> data(managers)
> chart.TimeSeries(managers[,1]) # Normal plot
> chart.TimeSeries(managers[,1], yaxis=FALSE)
> axis(2, at=pretty(managers[,1]), labels=sprintf("%s%%",
pretty(managers[,1]) * 100))

Is this what you're looking for?
