Side-by-side graphics for PerformanceAnalytics in R
The following script is plotting 2 charts side by side:
require(xts)
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
XTS1 <- structure(c(12, 7, 7, 22, 24, 30, 26, 23, 27, 30), .indexCLASS = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), .indexTZ = "", tclass = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), tzone = "", class = c("xts", "zoo"), .CLASS = structure("double", class = "CLASS"), formattable = structure(list(formatter = "formatC", format = structure(list(format = "f", digits = 2), .Names = c("format", "digits")), preproc = "percent_preproc", postproc = "percent_postproc"), .Names = c("formatter", "format", "preproc", "postproc")), index = structure(c(1413981900, 1413982800, 1413983700, 1413984600, 1413985500, 1413986400, 1413987300, 1413988200, 1413989100, 1413990000), tzone = "", tclass = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt")), .Dim = c(10L, 1L))
XTS2 <- XTS1 ^ 0.2
plot(XTS1)
plot(XTS2)
The following script cannot display 2 charts side by side:
require(PerformanceAnalytics)
require(xts)
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
XTS1 <- structure(c(12, 7, 7, 22, 24, 30, 26, 23, 27, 30), .indexCLASS = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), .indexTZ = "", tclass = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), tzone = "", class = c("xts", "zoo"), .CLASS = structure("double", class = "CLASS"), formattable = structure(list(formatter = "formatC", format = structure(list(format = "f", digits = 2), .Names = c("format", "digits")), preproc = "percent_preproc", postproc = "percent_postproc"), .Names = c("formatter", "format", "preproc", "postproc")), index = structure(c(1413981900, 1413982800, 1413983700, 1413984600, 1413985500, 1413986400, 1413987300, 1413988200, 1413989100, 1413990000), tzone = "", tclass = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt")), .Dim = c(10L, 1L))
XTS2 <- XTS1 ^ 0.2
charts.PerformanceSummary(XTS1)
charts.PerformanceSummary(XTS2)
Does anyone know how to get the last script to plot two diagrams side by side?
I would like to avoid using a different package if possible. Thank.

chart.PerformanceSummary
is really just a wrapper for several charts.
You can do this and expand it to any number of characters horizontally if you want (more than 2 characters if you want) 
:
par(mfrow=c(3,2))
# First row
chart.CumReturns(XTS1, ylab = "Cumulative Return", main = "give me a title")
chart.CumReturns(XTS2, ylab = "Cumulative Return", main = "give me a title2")
# second row
chart.BarVaR(XTS1)
chart.BarVaR(XTS2)
# third row
chart.Drawdown(XTS1, main = "DD title", ylab = "Drawdown",
)
chart.Drawdown(XTS2, main = "", ylab = "Drawdown",
)
You need to add the appropriate settings for each chart for such things as the color and captions (leaving it for you), but you have the ability to add any chart of the wonderful packages xts
, quantmod
, performanceAnalytics
(and others).
