panplot and font size in a script

by Sven Schreiber

Hi all, I'm using the panplot command (panel plot) in a script and want to increase the font size in the png or pdf output. In the GUI plot editor it's easy - is it also somehow possible via scripted gnuplot commands? I tried stuff like {set term pngcairo font "12,verdana"}, but that had no effect. thanks sven

gretl command log bug

by Cottrell, Allin

We've had some reports lately of users on Windows and Mac having difficulty accessing gretl's "Command log" (an item under the Tools menu in the main window). It seems you sometimes get a "Data error" when trying to do this. That's unfortunate since the log is supposed to help as a bridge between point-and-click and scripting (by showing you the command-line equivalent of things you've done via the graphical interface). We think this is now fixed in the current gretl snapshots, which you can find at https://gretl.sourceforge.net/win32/ (Windows) https://gretl.sourceforge.net/osx.html (Mac) https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/snapshots/ (all snapshots) Please let us know if you try the snapshot and find that the problem is not solved.

Slow Science Manifesto

by Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti

Hi all, this is not strictly gretl-related, but I thought that many of us might be interested in the Slow Science <https://www.slow-science.com/index.html> iniatitive. I've just signed their manifesto <https://www.slow-science.com/documents/slow-science-manifesto-2026.pdf>. ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------

about "Turning observation-marker strings into a series"

by Sven Schreiber

Hi, the cheatsheet chapter in the gretl user guide has a part about this subject. Apart from using the "markers" command, it proposes to use the stringify function in a second step. However, in section 16.2 of the same guide, under the heading of "Assigning from an array of strings" there's an example that also starts with the markers command, but then simply assigns the result to a series, as in "series state = S". I just verified in my own panel dataset that that worked nicely. (Full disclosure: My dataset only had the country codes in the observation markers, no panel-time information in there. That would have complicated things, I guess., But I think the same problem would apply to the first solution.) So the question is: Given that the second way feels more natural, is the solution in the cheatsheet outdated, or is it better in some other respect that I'm missing? thanks sven

Package updates (January 2026)

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 january 2025, 10 packages were updated to a new version and a new one was released. The new one is "DYconn", by C. Casoli, L. Pedini and A. Tarassow: it implements Diebold and Yilmaz' VAR-based connectedness measures. If you know what I'm talking about, good. If you don't , you may want to have a look at Chiara and Luca's nice paper on the subject <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00180-025-01680-9>. The updates were: "heatmap", by Artur Tarassow (heatmap, contour and 3D plots) "FEP", by Artur Tarassow and Sven Schreiber (Forecast Evaluation via many measures) "yahoo_get", by myself (Downloader of daily financial data from Yahoo) "ARMA_IRF", again by myself (IRF for univariate ARMA models) "gnuplot_piechart" , by Ignacio Díaz-Emparanza (A simple 2D pie chart) "ketvals", by Francesco Valentini and myself (Kernel-based Time-Varying Least Squares) "StrucTiSM", by me and Sven Schreiber (Harvey-style Structural Time Series Models) "adalasso", also by Sven Schreiber (adaptive Lasso) "DynMultCalc", by Allin and me (dynamic multipliers for ADL models) "ARprobit", again by Sven Schreiber (Dynamic Probit à la Kauppi&Saikkonen) Yes, there's quite a few of them. Several, however, contain only cosmetic adjustments, needed to silence a warning message about deprecated syntax for drawing bands in plots. That said, some others contain nice substantial improvements: for example, "FEP" has some nice improvements in the Giacomini-White test, "StrucTiSM" finally includes auxiliary residuals (a long-awaited feature) and a nasty bug in "adalasso" was fixed. As usual, update and enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------

gretl 2026a for Windows

by Allin Cottrell

I'm sorry to say that we seem to have missed a few required DLLs for some of the builds of gretl 2026a for Windows. Specifically: * gretl-2026a-64.exe and gretl-2026a-win64.zip (both for Intel/AMD computers) were missing a DLL required for the command-line program, gretlcli.exe. * gretl-2026a-arm64.exe was missing a DLL required for the GUI program, gretl.exe. This is now fixed in new builds, dated 2026-01-31, at https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/gretl/2026a/ Allin Cottrell
