Dear gretl team,
What do you think about increasing the number of lines of the text
legend inside the gretl icon view?
Please take a look at the attached pdf file. It shows that besides the
space is sufficient for the English locale, it is not for some other
locales.
Best,

Fair point. I think I'd favor allowing the icon view window to be
wider, and not truncating the strings for the icons, rather than
splitting the strings over more than one line. Does that sound OK?

Ah, I tried that and it's not good: if I allow full-length strings
for all languages the icon view becomes too wide and sparse, and
looks stupid. This is actually quite complicated; more thought
needed.

One simple suggestion: Keep the icon view window the same size we have
now and reduce the number of columns from 4 to 3 by default? This would
give more space between icons and will allow more lengthy text.

Dear Allin,
I think the icon view is looking great now!
Best,

This looks good in Spanish too. I have detected some errors in the
translations about the graph page that I have corrected now.

Thanks, Henrique! I agree it looks better in non-English usage.
