[Gretl-devel] OS-dependent behavior of plots
Dear all,
Below is a code to plot irf with confidence bounds
input is n x 3 matrix: 1-st col is irf and the rest are
confidence bounds
It is intended to plot 3 lines:
red solid for irf
and red dashed for bounds
I used Dell 630 latitude
On Ubuntu the plot is as intended to be, but
on the same notebook on XP plot uses
default color/style options: 3 lines are
solid red, blue , green
I know from gnuplot manuals that
dashing is monitor-dependent,
but I used the same pc.
I would be glad to know reports on
the results in other OS's and
suggestions, what it could be:
gretl, gnuplot, monitor, or drivers
