Allin & others,
First, many thanks for the new & improved gui features! I also really appreciate the
ability to add "recession bars" in graphs. I'm working on a paper where we
generate alternative "cycle" periods, so this is quite useful and timely.
In playing around with these new toys, I've discovered a couple of "rough
edges." First, the ability to re-order a data series isn't available for the last
series in the data set. Of course it's easy to work around this by moving another
series to the end, then moving the other one.
The second relates to adding bars to a graph. When I add my own bars, then edit some other
feature of the graph (labels, say), then close the editing window, the bars switch back to
the default NBER recessions. I have to go back to the "main" tab and re-select
my bars file (ie, make that the last editing choice).
Neither of these is critical - as I mentioned, they both have easy work-arounds. Still, I
thought I'd bring them to your attention.
Thanks again!
PS
PS - is there a way to clear the console window, like clc in matlab?
