[Gretl-users] multiplots / subplots (was: Re: Bug?)

(So far it's a plain function, not a package.) The first arguments for this function 'multiGplot' are these: 1) Array of strings with the details for the plotting command - so the stuff that comes right behind the 'gnuplot' keyword. 2) A string with (double-dash) options that all subplots have in common. 3) A gretl list with all the series inputs that are referenced in the individual gnuplot commands. (Can use shortcut 'deflist(dataset)' for smaller datasets.) 4) Integer with the number of columns in the plot grid. (Optional, default 1.) 5) A string with a file/path name to determine gnuplot's output, in parallel to the display output. (Optional, default none/null.) Examples (referring to the denmark.gdt data): multiGplot(defarray("LRM --time-series --with-lines", \ "LRY --time-series --with-lines"), null, \ deflist(dataset)) or more compactly: multiGplot(defarray("LRM", "LRY"), "--time-series --with-lines", \ deflist(dataset)) Of course the string array and the list can also be predefined and named, instead of this anonymous usage. The function returns a string with the produced gnuplot plot source for further use, if needed. I've also thought if instead of (or in addition to) the list input a bundle should be used which could also hold matrices and such things. Comments on this and other aspects are welcome. Bugs are surely there. cheers, sven
