[Gretl-users] new things in CVS

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. -- Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University
