Re: [Gretl-users] boxplot(s) within a loop
Ok, thanks very much for that. The boxplot works fine
<script
loop foreach i L
boxplot $i --output=$i_box.eps
endloop
<script
But:
<script
open data9-7
list L = QNC INCOME PRICE UNEMP
loop foreach i L
gnuplot $i --time-series --with-lines --output=$i.eps
endloop
<script
generates an error:
<output
? list L = QNC INCOME PRICE UNEMP
Generated list L
? loop foreach i L
gnuplot $i --time-series --with-lines --output=$i.eps
endloop
? gnuplot QNC --with-lines --time-series --output=QNC.eps
plot '-' using 1:($2) title "fitted" w lines lt 2, '-' using
1:($2)
title "actual" w lines lt 1

This is now implemented in CVS and Windows snapshot. Hence the
following will produce a set of EPS files:
open data9-7
list L = QNC INCOME PRICE UNEMP
loop foreach i L
gnuplot $i --time-series --with-lines --output=$i.eps
endloop
# or perhaps...
loop foreach i L
boxplot $i --output=$i_box.eps
endloop
(And similarly for .pdf, .png and .fig)
If you need detailed control over the appearance of the plots,
though, save to gnuplot command files then edit to taste.
