Re: [Gretl-users] new things in CVS
Thanks very much for these. Here are a few issues I encountered:
1)- I updated the tr.po file, however I think there is something wrong
with entry #1095. It doesn't allow touching the "80% o" part "80%
of..."
2)- Adding a line feature is very promising but it needs some refinements:
a)- In the "add line" window, formula comes first, but in the
"plot controls" window, the "legend" item comes first. It would be
better if this was consistent so that the user won't enter the formula
in the wrong field vice-versa while adding or modifying.
b)- Open Gujarati Table_1.3.gdt and plot France versus Germany.
When I enter the formula "7,5" I get 2 horizontal lines passing
through 7 and 5. The first line somehow has the legend "7" and both of
the lines are green. Entering "7.5" in the formula field however gives
the desired line.
c)- Using the same data set, I plot Canada versus France (France
on the x axis). Somehow I cannot add a horizonta line (such as "1.3")
on this graph (but I was able to plot "x" (45 degree line) and see it
after modifying the ranges).
Again thanks very much for this useful feature.
Cheers

Hello all,
A couple of new things to note in CVS, and also in the snapshots
for Windows
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl_install.exe
and OS X
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl.dmg
1) You can add a line, defined via a formula, to a gretl/gnuplot
graph. Right click on the graph and choose "Edit", then select
the "Lines" tab. You should find a button labeled "Add line...",
below the currently-present lines. If you click on that you get a
dialog box in which you can specify a new line.
2) Scalars: there is now an icon in the "Icon view" window which
leads you to any defined scalars and/or allows you to define a
scalar variable. By right-clicking on this icon you also get the
option of copying any existing scalars to the clipboard in
comma-separated format. And when you edit a scalar within the
scalars spreadsheet, you can enter a formula (starting with '=')
rather than a simple numerical value. E.g. start editing a scalar
and type "=pi".
For translators: the strings associated with these new options are
marked for translation and are present in the CVS version of
gretl.pot.
