[Gretl-users] EMF and PNG format

Jean, my ...telepathic soulmate, wrote: --- By the way, I also tried these operations with Abiword (2.4.2) on WinXP. The main conclusion is that you should save the graph as png file and insert it into Abiword. Copying to the clipboard did not work: the "paste" function in Abiword remained greyed out. Saving the file as emf was not terrible: I was able to insert an emf file into an Abiword document, but the colors were inverted. I obtained a graph with a black background. However, inserting a gretl-generated png file into Abiword worked just fine --- I just want to reiterate that the PNG format is bitmaped and thus does not zoom gracefully neither it is acceptable for, say, journal submission. So going via PNG is NOT, in my humble opinion, a good option; I had rather import the enhanced metafile into Word/OO and just crop the margins. I am hoping Allin will eventually pull another one out of his hat and correct this too! John
