You can't use "." in the names of objects; we should make that
clearer.
? "figure 1-3" <- gnuplot djclose --with-lines
--time-series
figure 1-3 saved
OK.
? "figure 2-3" <- gnuplot djclose
Command has insufficient arguments
True enough, not enough arguments. You can't plot a single
variable without at least giving the --time-series flag.
? "figure 2-3" <- gnuplot djclose djclose(-1)
figure 2-3 replaced
OK.
And if the gnuplot comes with Chinese Characters "XX", no
error
occrured in the command line:
"figure 2-3XX" <- gnuplot djclose --with-lines --time-series
for example, I run
? "figure 2-3圖" <- gnuplot djclose --with-lines --time-series
figure 2-3圖 saved
But open this graph in icon view, gretl reports "unspecified error" as
mentioned in the eariler mail.
That one sounds like a bug, but it's not a bug I can reproduce on
Linux. I'll have to try testing on Windows when I get a chance.
You could see if anything informative appears on stderr in this
case, by running gretl in debugging mode:
gretlw32.exe --debug
Allin.
