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

Hello,
what a service! Thanks very, very much. I just tried the new
commands and all works well, except that one cannot use --plot and
--silent (to supress the statistics printed) together or use
literals as with gnuplot, e.g.: { set title ""; } If that was
possible, too, it would be even more fantastic and allow to generate
publication-ready histograms ;) But even now with the new options
present, one can produce .gp files directly and easily fix things
there via copy and paste. So this is not too important. (The ' "icon
label" <- ' option does not seem to work despite a confirmative text
is produced in the output window - the latter even if the --plot
option is active, too.).
But I feel a bit unthankful to ask for more. Please don't see it
that way.
Not at all -- thanks for testing the new stuff!
I've now fixed a couple of the things you mention:
(1) --plot and --silent can now be used together (but not --plot plus
--quiet, the old option whose sole job was to suppress the plot).
(2) The mechanism for saving a "freq" plot as a named object in the
icon view should now work.
As for the gnuplot "literal" mechanism, I can see this would be
useful, but it would be more complicated to add that for all commands
that produce plots. I'll have to think about it some more.
