little arrows on quantmod charts
While this isn't yet in the released version of quantmod, the entire graphical engine underlying charting via quantmod is being rewritten. The net effect is that it will now render as one graphic, so enabling the use of charts inside of standard mfcol/layout plot regions, as well as a more robust mechanism regarding how additions get appended to charts. Things are much faster and quite a bit more pleasing to the eye now. Another facet of the new engine is that it will allow for base graphics to be more easily incorporated _into_ the charts. I will be adding wrappers to make the process easy, but it will be possible even without them. Currently this is a challenge in the current system (even for me -- having a decent knowledge of what I wrote.) I will also add a mechanism to add more common types of additions, like signals. Requests for additional features would be much appreciated!! Brave souls are invited to contact me for access and a quick example or two before the release. All code is on R-forge as well. Best, Jeff

Stock charts in quantmod are as good as other commercial softwares'. Yet I wonder how to add little arrows to the barChart. ? Something as http://www.trendprognosis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/VLE0612.gif Sometimes little arrows are better than shaded area on the charts. ?Several kinds of arrows for buy, sell, stop, warning would be enough. Thanks. Wind ? ? ? ?[[alternative HTML version deleted]]
