+#' Figure of lognormal VaR and pdf against L/P
+#'
+#' Gives figure showing the VaR and probability distribution function against L/P of a portfolio assuming geometric returns are normally distributed, for specified confidence level and holding period.
+#' 
+#' @param returns Vector of daily geometric return data
+#' @param mu Mean of daily geometric return data
+#' @param sigma Standard deviation of daily geometric return data
+#' @param investment Size of investment
+#' @param cl VaR confidence level and should be scalar
+#' @param hp VaR holding period in days and should be scalar
+#'  
+#'  @note The input arguments contain either return data or else mean and 
+#'  standard deviation data. Accordingly, number of input arguments is either 4 
+#'  or 5. In case there 4 input arguments, the mean and standard deviation of 
+#'  data is computed from return data. See examples for details.
