Hi all,

I’m having a couple of issues with the gnuplot command in a script. If I write “gnuplot y x,” gretl writes the .plt file in my working directory (c:\program files\gretl), as described in the command reference. If I add a file name, say “gnuplot y x --output=ch2.pdf”, the file is written ok but to a different directory (one I was working in on Friday). Using “output=display” doesn’t produce anything. Actually it looks like a graph window may get created & then immediately closed – it’s hard to tell if it’s that or the script output window opening. In any event there’s no message in the script output (not that I’d expect one for a successfully created graph).

The specific script I’m running is Lee Adkins’s POEch2.inp. I’ve also replicated the directory switch in the console.

TIA,

PS
