With EPS or PDF you can do a global scale for a graphic, for example decreasing its size, but then you need to increase the thickness of the lines. I did it with R as well. It would be very good to have a way to do it directly with gretl. -- Ignacio Diaz-Emparanza DEPARTAMENTO DE ECONOMÍA APLICADA III (ECONOMETRÍA Y ESTADÍSTICA) UPV/EHU Avda.
