Hi,
in the dialog "gretl plot controls" one can specify a text file with
date pairs to get a shaded area/bar in the plot. Now that gretl switched
to supporting ISO date format, I think it should allow it here as well,
which doesn't currently work (only ":" is allowed as separator, e.g.
2009:11 instead of 2009-11).
And BTW: At least on Windows it seems that the file must have a .txt
ending to be selectable. I find this overly restrictive, especially on
Unix (where I haven't checked, however).
thanks,
sven
