[Gretl-devel] integrating gnuplot's multiplot

Hi, I think it would be useful if gnuplot's capability to put several plots next to each other could be offered to the gretl user. What comes to mind is the 'plot ... end plot' block. What I mean is to introduce a further 'subplot' nested block such that the following block would produce the same thing as the (already currently working, at least for me) hansl code at the end. Would that be too difficult to arrange? thanks, sven -- <proposed> plot option multiplot-layout=2,1 # or similar option time-series # would apply to all subplots subplot LRM # room for specific options end subplot subplot LRY # room for specific options end subplot end plot --output="display" </proposed> <hansl-now> open denmark # produce the subplots gnuplot LRM --time-series --output="p1.plt" gnuplot LRY --time-series --output="p2.plt" string s1 = readfile("p1.plt") string s2 = readfile("p2.plt") # prepare the combination commands outfile multi.plt --write print "set multiplot layout 2,1 columnsfirst" printf "%s\n%s\n", s1, s2 print "unset multiplot" outfile --close # execute and display gnuplot --input=&quot;(a)workdir\multi.plt&quot; --output="display" </hansl-now>
