Re: [Gretl-users] automated frequency histograms plotting and saving

Hello,
I was wondering if there exists an (undocumented) option to save
freq. histograms to the disk as, say .png file. I can use the"
--show-plot" option in a loop and then manually save the figures thus
created (even save them as icon and manipulate them). But is there a
way to save them to a file like it is possible with scatters and
boxplots? I.e. something like an "output=" option and perhaps even a
way to pass additional arguments via { set ... ; } ?
A very good question. I see no good reason why it shouldn't get the same
--output option as 'gnuplot' or 'boxplot'.
While we're at it, I notice that 'rmplot' does not have such an option,
either.
And in the doc for 'scatters' the line "--output=filename (send output
to specified file)" is included twice.
Finally, it might be useful to make the "binning" of the histogram
behind 'freq' available in a numerical matrix form, either by
introducing an associated 'freq' function, or by adding a $-accessor
that could be used after doing 'freq ... --silent'.
thanks,
