[R-SIG-Finance] XTS plot of intra-daily stock prices

[Jeffrey Ryan]

plot.xts is designed to have time intervals properly represented on
the x-axis, whereas something like chart_Series will simply use
1:length(x) for the spacing (i.e. constant delta).  This is useful as
it faithfully represents the intervals between events, but in some
cases (weekend in market data), it can look a bit sketchy.

You can either use chart_Series or remove the 'xts' part via coredata,
and use a generic plot command.
