wrapper for barchart of returns
A wrapper to create a chart of periodic returns in a bar chart. This is a difficult enough graph to read that it doesn't get much use. Still, it is useful for viewing a single set of data.
chart.Bar(R, legend.loc = NULL, colorset = (1:12), ...) charts.Bar(R, main = "Returns", cex.legend = 0.8, cex.main = 1, ...)
Arguments
