I'm puzzled by the fact that the sample script of the LocalProjection
package produces an error "invalid option --time-series". And indeed
that option is appended to a "plot" command, which is not supported as
per the doc.
However, the package was moderated in August, and I'm assuming that the
sample script ran fine at that time. So, has something changed in gretl
since then? (Either 2024a, or 2023c, or post-2024a.) Or actually, I tend
to think that it still worked around March or so.
Yes, it stopped working after March 29.
I've checked all the gfns, and LocalProjection is the only one to
append an option to the first line of a plot block. I can't find any
that attach options to "end plot" other than the ones that are
officially recognized for that context. I don't think that we should
add a workaround for the usage in LocalProjection.
