Re: [Gretl-devel] Variable names in summary statistics (and similar)
Thanks for the answer. I thought it might be that one just needed to adjust, say, a
parameter, to make it consistent with the regular maximal variable names length but I
guess this would spoil the fixed layout. Another suggestion would be to somehow
"switch" to variables IDs if the name is too long. Something like ID_xyz or
such, instead of simply truncation with ~. Then I could use copy & paste to adjust the
names in the latex tables, without risking to mix everything up.

I think that if you want to print a correlation matrix using very long variable
names in full, you really have to design your own function for that. The tools
are available in hansl. The compact format used by default by gretl is not
going to work.
