[Gretl-devel] some panel plotting mysteries

Hi, [actually, it's only one mystery, the rest is missing features...] I have a panel dataset with 9 groups (countries) and 44 time periods. The data structure has been set (or refined) with: setobs 4 1995:1 --panel-time setobs country --panel-groups where "country" is a string-valued series with the two-letter ISO codes for the 9 countries. Now I'm observing some glitches or a little mysterious outcomes when calling up various plot options in gretl. (There are no missing data in the panel, and if it matters, currently I have the comma as decimal separator.) 1) Context menu (right click) and then choose "panel plot"; then choose "joint/groups overlapping":  The legend is fine, using the country code labels. But the x-axis --which should be time-- shows a range from 1 to 2, which I don't understand. Simply a bug? (The same problem occurs for "joint/group means".) 2) Again context menu, "panel plot", but then choose "joint/groups sequentially": Now the x-axis has tick marks indicating the groups, but instead of the string-valued country labels I only get numbers 1 through 9, which is a not wrong, but a bit of a pity. 3) ... then choose "multiple plots in grid": Again group numbers instead of labels, and on the time axes there is always 1 through 44 (actually, 0-45, but well) instead of the corresponding date labels from the panel time. 4) ... then choose "boxplots per group" (that's also what I get on double-clicking the series directly): Like in case (2), group numbers 1-9 on the x-axis instead of the group (country) labels. thanks sven
