This is not natively supported currently. However, you may write your
own gnuplot-function for supporting multiplots though.
Alternatively, use the "graphpg" command.
As in this example, which works for me but requires manual intervention
for choosing color or monochrome output:
<hansl>
open denmark
loop foreach i LRM LRY IBO IDE
g$i <- gnuplot $i --time-series --with-lines
graphpg add
endloop
graphpg show
</hansl>
I encountered two issues when testing this: First, adding "graphpg
fontscale 2" as described in the doc results in a gretl error message
(parser error). I think this is a bug (possibly introduced already two
or three years ago; doing instead "graphpg fontscale=2" got rid of the
error, but had no effect).
More seriously, saving the graph page by copying from the doc the line
'graphpg --output="myfile.pdf"' results in an error "Command has
insufficient arguments".
Finally, I think it should be noted that it is very easy to do from the
GUI/menus. (View/ Multiple graphs)
good luck,
