[Gretl-devel] Re: Displayed time index in case of restricted panel

Hi all,
I just saw that when the time-dimension of a panel data set is restricted,
the 'sample' display at the bottom of the main menu does not show the right
time indices.
See the screenshot attached where I restricted time to the range 2<=time<=10
but the shown indices are still <Panel: sample 1:1 - 10:9>.
Of course, the actual data set in the background is correctly restricted.
Gretl's basic "panel first period" is always 1 by construction: the
first period in the sample range. If the dataset has, for example, a
"year" variable, then "period 1" may correspond to a different year
depending on subsampling. And if you've set observation markers of
the form "individual:date" these will look "right" after
subsampling.
