Re: [Gretl-users] new things in CVS

Thanks very much for these. Here are a few issues I encountered: 1)- I updated the tr.po file, however I think there is something wrong with entry #1095. It doesn't allow touching the "80% o" part "80% of..." 2)- Adding a line feature is very promising but it needs some refinements: a)- In the "add line" window, formula comes first, but in the "plot controls" window, the "legend" item comes first. It would be better if this was consistent so that the user won't enter the formula in the wrong field vice-versa while adding or modifying. b)- Open Gujarati Table_1.3.gdt and plot France versus Germany. When I enter the formula "7,5" I get 2 horizontal lines passing through 7 and 5. The first line somehow has the legend "7" and both of the lines are green. Entering "7.5" in the formula field however gives the desired line. c)- Using the same data set, I plot Canada versus France (France on the x axis). Somehow I cannot add a horizonta line (such as "1.3") on this graph (but I was able to plot "x" (45 degree line) and see it after modifying the ranges). Again thanks very much for this useful feature.
