Dear Allin,
I'm trying to make some plots (a lot of plots!) using gnuplot command
but Gretl gives me a warning message telling "File exists".
This behavior occurs after the 26th plot. I would like to know if this
is a feature or a bug ;-)
Please take a look athe following script (running on Windows 7 / Gretl
2017c-git build 2017-06-09):
<hansl>
scalar max_plot = 30
nulldata 100 --preserve
setobs 12 1980:01
loop i = 1..max_plot
series s$i = normal(0, 1)
gnuplot s$i --with-lines --time-series --output=display
endloop
</hansl>
Hi Henrique,
it is probably not a good idea to use --output=display for a big number
of plots. Why not save the files?
The critical number 26 sounds like the letters in the alphabet, perhaps
internally they are indexed from a..z and then start over again.
Apart from that, if you do not receive a solution soon, feel free to
open a bug ticket on the tracker. (

cheers,
