Re: [Gretl-users] automated frequency histograms plotting and saving
Hello again,
I tested the new silent and icon save options for "freq". There are some
issues:
1) Saving to icons does not work in a loop at all
2) The --silent option does not work correct in a loop -- only the first iteration of the
innermost loop will work.
In both cases, no error message is printed. Nevertheless, it is not too much of a pain to
use it as it is now. It is great one can produce frequency plots automated! Saving to .gp
and hand-adding some literals then (including a line to produce a .png, etc.) is not that
much work either. Many thanks!

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.
