Re: [Gretl-devel] OS-dependent behavior of plots: thanks and a proposal
Dear Allin,
First, thanks: it works
Second,
I submitted a package with this function, but
I am not sure it would be approved, since
it is partly redundant
But anyway I give it for my students,
so it must be OS-independent
For now, i could use $windows,
but I can't predict when, say Ubuntu
will change to 5.x, or if
someone prefer to compile the last
gnuplot (me, for example compile last
gretl, have last R and the rest from
Ubuntu repos, with some exceptions
as calibre)
So it would be convenient if gretl
have something outputting gnuplot
version

Yes, Ubuntu has an older version of gnuplot while the gretl package
for Windows has the current version. The incompatibility is
unfortunate, but here's how to modify the spec in Oleh's script,
under the gretl "plot" command:
literal set termoption dashed
literal set style line 1 lt 1 lc 1
literal set style line 2 lt 2 lc 1
literal set style line 3 lt 2 lc 1
literal set linetype 1 lc 1
literal set linetype 2 lc 1 dt 2
literal set linetype 3 lc 1 dt 2
where "dt" is an abbreviation for "dashtype".
