Ignacio, could you give a specific example of this? I tried running the following: <hansl> open data4-10.gdt series private_enrollment = ENROLL series catholic_proportion = CATHOL series white_proportion = WHITE series NEA_membership = MEMNEA series college_educated = COLLEGE series pupil_teacher_ratio = PUPIL </hansl> then asking for multi-scatters of private_enrollment (y-axis) against the 5 other renamed series. The graph came out OK (in Spanish as well as in English).
