[Gretl-devel] Re: [Gretl-users] Re: time-series plot weekly/ hourly data frequency

I have started experimenting with the sample label printing business in the branch "samplelabel" branch on git. Certainly very far from being well tested (actually already with a known bug where I haven't pushed the fix yet, but will in a minute). This is not exactly the same thing as date label printing in plots, but similar I think. When looking at the code, I see the function 'ntodate' (in lib/src/dataio.c) which nowadays is a little misleading I'd say, because it is also used to construct the label for a panel observation (which includes the unit, not just a date). So my proposal would be to adjust that name eventually - of course this means a lot of changes to all the calls, but with grep and search and replace this shouldn't be a big problem. Or is there anything I'm missing? And a question: AFAICS dset->panel_pd is the time-series frequency within a panel dataset. (So playing the role of dset->pd in a time-series dataset, but dset->pd is the overall time dimension length in the panel context, cf. also the hansl accessor $pd -- I've always found that confusing! So what actually is the hansl way to retrieve the information about the time series frequency in a panel, after it has been set with --set-panel-time??) My question: does this panel_pd always exist in a panel, or only conditionally on the user action of setting it? thanks sven
