highlow
High, low, open, close chart
Description
highlow(
displays a highlow chart
from a series of opening, high, low, and closing prices of a security. The plots are
vertical lines whose top is the high, bottom is the low, open is a left tick, and
close is a right tick. Data
)
Examples
Generate a Highlow Chart for a Data Series for a Stock
Load the file SimulatedStock.mat
, which provides a timetable (TMW
) for financial data for TMW stock. The highlow chart plots the price data using blue lines.
load SimulatedStock.mat range = 1:25; highlow(TMW(range,:),'b'); title('High, Low, Open, Close Chart for TMW')
Input Arguments
Data
— Data for opening, high, low, and closing prices
matrix | table | timetable
Data for opening, high, low, and closing prices, specified as a matrix,
table, or timetable. For matrix input, Data
is an
M
-by-4
matrix of opening, high,
low, and closing prices stored in the corresponding columns. Timetables and
tables with M
rows must contain variables named
'Open'
, 'High'
,
'Low'
, and 'Close'
(case
insensitive).
Data Types: double
| table
| timetable
Color
— Three element color vector
background color of figure window (default) | color vector [R G B]
| string
(Optional) Three element color vector, specified as a [R G
B]
color vector or a string specifying the color name. The
default color differs depending on the background color of the figure
window.
RGB triplets and hexadecimal color codes are useful for specifying custom colors.
An RGB triplet is a three-element row vector whose elements specify the intensities of the red, green, and blue components of the color. The intensities must be in the range
[0,1]
; for example,[0.4 0.6 0.7]
.A hexadecimal color code is a character vector or a string scalar that starts with a hash symbol (
#
) followed by three or six hexadecimal digits, which can range from0
toF
. The values are not case sensitive. Thus, the color codes"#FF8800"
,"#ff8800"
,"#F80"
, and"#f80"
are equivalent.
Alternatively, you can specify some common colors by name. This table lists the named color options, the equivalent RGB triplets, and hexadecimal color codes.
Color Name | Short Name | RGB Triplet | Hexadecimal Color Code | Appearance |
---|---|---|---|---|
"red" | "r" | [1 0 0] | "#FF0000" | |
"green" | "g" | [0 1 0] | "#00FF00" | |
"blue" | "b" | [0 0 1] | "#0000FF" | |
"cyan"
| "c" | [0 1 1] | "#00FFFF" | |
"magenta" | "m" | [1 0 1] | "#FF00FF" | |
"yellow" | "y" | [1 1 0] | "#FFFF00" | |
"black" | "k" | [0 0 0] | "#000000" | |
"white" | "w" | [1 1 1] | "#FFFFFF" |
Here are the RGB triplets and hexadecimal color codes for the default colors MATLAB® uses in many types of plots.
RGB Triplet | Hexadecimal Color Code | Appearance |
---|---|---|
[0 0.4470 0.7410] | "#0072BD" | |
[0.8500 0.3250 0.0980] | "#D95319" | |
[0.9290 0.6940 0.1250] | "#EDB120" | |
[0.4940 0.1840 0.5560] | "#7E2F8E" | |
[0.4660 0.6740 0.1880] | "#77AC30" | |
[0.3010 0.7450 0.9330] | "#4DBEEE" | |
[0.6350 0.0780 0.1840] | "#A2142F" |
Data Types: double
| string
ax
— Valid axis object
current axes (ax = gca
) (default) | axes object
(Optional) Valid axis object, specified as an axes object. The highlow
plot is created in the axes specified by ax
instead of in
the current axes (ax = gca
). The option
ax
can precede any of the input argument
combinations.
Data Types: object
Output Arguments
h
— Graphic handle of the figure
handle object
Graphic handle of the figure, returned as a handle object.
Version History
Introduced before R2006aR2022b: Support for negative price data
The Data
input accepts negative prices.
