Using version.string R version 2.11.0 (2010-04-22)
quantmod "0.3-17"
Windows XP
When using the chartSeries
function in quantmod
with type="line"
the line color that is displayed on the chart is green. I would like to change the color from green to another color.
It looks like i can change the chartTheme
, but the theme does not explicitly have a variable to change the color of the plot display for lines.
I can change the line display color when using the plot()
function - So is it possible to change the display of line plots to a different color using chartSeries()
in quantmod
?
Rather than cluttering its argument list with options controlling all aspects of chart appearance, chartSeries()
has a single theme
argument. theme
accepts a chart.theme
object that controls the colors of most parts of the plot, bundling all of those color choices into a single object.
The function chartTheme()
creates chart.theme
objects of the appropriate form. Among the options listed in ?chartTheme
, up.col
seems to control the color you are asking about:
require(quantmod)
getSymbols("YHOO")
chartSeries(YHOO, type="line",
theme = chartTheme("black", up.col='gold'))
