Dear all,
[first I thought of sending this to the users list, but it's neither
asking for help nor giving useful advice, so here it goes to gretl-devel
instead]
today I had to add the (hopefully) finishing touch to a paper, and that
included replacing the png graphics with scalable vector graphic formats
(read: pdf). Those png graphs had originally been produced with gretl
(of course!).
The (known, I think) problem was again that all the changes to font
sizes and thicker line widths etc. show up fine in the png output
produced from gretl's "builtin" gnuplot --well actually there are some
issues like overlap of tick labels and axes, but anyway--, but not at
all in the pdf (or eps) versions. That was a show-stopper for me once
again.
Yes, I remember sometime I had the same problem. 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.
