  y,
  reference.grid = TRUE,
  main = "Title",
  ylab = NULL,
  xlab = NULL,
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  colorset = 1,
  symbolset = 1,
  element.color = "darkgray",
  cex.axis = 0.8,
  cex.legend = 0.8,
  cex.lab = 1,
  cex.main = 1,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

data for the x axis, can take matrix,vector, or timeseries

y

data for the y axis, can take matrix,vector, or timeseries

reference.grid

if true, draws a grid aligned with the points on the x and y axes

main

set the chart title, same as in plot

ylab

cex.axis

The magnification to be used for axis annotation relative to the current setting of 'cex', same as in plot.

cex.legend

The magnification to be used for sizing the legend relative to the current setting of 'cex'.

cex.lab
