[Gretl-devel] Graph and zoom

I have discovered an small bug in the zoom of the graphs and other problem that I don't know whether it is a bug or not. Through File/databases/database server connect and import from "Banco de España", chapter 24, the series BE241503, Paro registrado, (unemployment). 1- Right click on the series and select "time series plot" (yes we were that bad in 2009 and now we are worse). If you move the cursor over the lines in the graph, the coordinates do not appear at the left-bottom corner and right clicking on the graph the option "zoom" does not appear. Close the graph and restrict the sample to 1979:04-2009:05 (362 obs), the coordinates appear in the left-bottom corner and the zoom is accesible by right-clicking. In fact the limit for this behaviour in this series is 362 obs. If you select 363 the things are the same as in the full sample. Is this a bug or a feature? (I don't know) 2- Assume you are with less than 363 obs., for example, 1979:04-2009:05, The Y-axis has an scale that goes from 1e+06 to 4e+06, but if you move the cursor over the series the coordinates that appear at the left-bottom corner show the X correctly but the Y divided by 1e+06. 3- If, with the same sample, yo try to do a zoom over a region of the graph, gretl tries to show the graph over a region with the Y coordinates divided by 1e+06 as well, so it is imposible to see the data. -- Ignacio Diaz-Emparanza DEPARTAMENTO DE ECONOMÍA APLICADA III (ECONOMETRÍA Y ESTADÍSTICA) UPV/EHU Avda.
