Gretl charts in a style similar to The Economist magazine
by Carlos Andrade
Hello everyone on the list. Hope you're all well.
How do I format Gretl charts in a style similar to The Economist magazine?
Does anyone have an example script?
Thank you for your attention.

Dynamic Panel Model
by Brian Revell
Just to clarify my understanding of the generation of fitted values for
levels of Yt
do the estimated coefficients transpose directly into the specified equation
Yt=a1 Yt-1+ b1Xt + d +ut (which begs the question of recovery of d )
or if the GUI difference estimator is the default estimator , are the
fitted values derived through expansion of the differenced form of
the equation with terms collected such that Yt=(1+a1)Yt-1.....etc.?..

Blurry text using Gretl with macOS Tahoe
by Roland Clarke
Dear colleagues,
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem. Over the weekend I upgraded my Mac to Tahoe (26.1) and as soon as I opened Gretl, the text was blurry. I enclose a screenshot, but I don't know if this really does justice to the problem. I am certain that until I upgraded all the text was crisp and easily readable. I have changed settings on the Mac to reduce transparency, and have tried various fonts in Gretl. Nothing seems to make a difference. Gretl is the only software on my system which appears to have this problem.
I am using Gretl 2025b, and the system is an iMac (2020) with a 27" built in Retina display (5120 x 2880).
If anyone has suggestions they would be very welcome. I know that 2025c will be released soon, and hopefully the problem will be fixed then.
Many thanks,
Roland

Package updates (October 2025)
by Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti
Dear all,
this message is to inform the community about the activity in our
function package repository: during the month of October 2025, 2
packages were updated to a new version and a new one was released. The
updates were:
"heatmap", by Artur Tarassow (Heatmap, contour and 3D plots)
"color_xy", by myself (color xy plot for time series )
The new package is
"FRED_get", again by myself, which allows you to download data from the
FRED data repo (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/) if you have a valid API key.
I would especially like to mention the new featured in the "heatmap"
package, that make it possible to produce hip stuff like the plot I'm
attaching.
Download and enjoy!
