Re: [R] help cannot put multiple chart Stacked Bar (from PerformanceAnalysis library) in a single plot
I am unfamiliar with the chart.StackedBar function, but since barplot works as expected I thought I'd check that you do know you can obtain stacked bar charts using barplot also? (beside = FALSE).

Hi, try par(new=T) patrick nguyen writes: Hi I'm having problems displaying multiple chart.StackedBar from PerformanceAnalysis library on a single plot. I've tried using par(mfrow=c(2,1)) but that doesn't work. If I do it with barplot(), it works fine and I see both plots on a single plot. plot(mfrow=c(2,1)) barplot(blahblah) barplot(blahblah) However if I try to use chart.StackedBar, the second entry appears to just overwrite the window. plot(mfrow=c(2,1)) chart.StackedBar(blahblah,date.format="%H:%M:%S",las=2, colorset=rainbow12equal) chart.StackedBar(blahblah,date.format="%H:%M:%S",las=2, colorset=rainbow12equal) Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! -patrick __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

This will not be terribly easy to change. My guess is that you would have to alter the function itself. However, if you simple delete/comment its par call, there will likely be clipping issues with the fancy legend that it seems to add. If you provide data and exactly what it is you want (so for instance I know whether chart.StackedBar is being dispatched to the .xts or .matrix side) I might edit the function for you. Alternately you could just live with them separate and merge them in your paper or presentation or whatever. Just use the xlim and ylim arguments so they are on the same scale.

Re: [R] help cannot put multiple chart Stacked Bar (from PerformanceAnalysis library) in a single plot
Thx for the details Josh! You're right - I meant performance analytics. I'm about 4 weeks into R now so I'm a bit of a noob. I've downloaded the source to see what you're talking about. I'll play around with it. The data is pretty straight forward and has something like this: date,bucket,view,db "2010-10-31 04:44:44",10,11,12 "2010-10-31 04:44:45",13,14,15 ... ... contained in a csv file. I convert the class of data into xts prior to passing it into chart.StackedBar. -Patrick On Nov 9, 2010, at 1:56 PM, Joshua Wiley wrote: > On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 12:41 PM, patrick nguyen > wrote: >> Hi >> >> >> I'm having problems displaying multiple chart.StackedBar from >> PerformanceAnalysis library on a single plot.
