Thanks for your response, sir.
Actually, what I did was that I initially estimated an SVEC model
using the interface, and I saved each of the impulse response graphs
in.png format in a folder I created on the desktop.
Then I clicked on the multiplot functions and the attached interface
popped up, I included the names of those graphs in the input file path
and the folder address in the output file path and I got an error
message.
? multiplot("f1" "f2" "f3" "f4", null, 2, 2,
null)
> multiplot("f1" "f2"
Expected ')' but found 'f2'
Hi, sorry for the delay, both Artur and I (co-authors of the multiplot
package) have been on vacation.
Your input '"f1" "f2" "f3" "f4"' cannot
work there. I admit that the
term "strings" may suggest such an input, but what's meant is the gretl
object of an array of strings. See the sample script for examples. So in
the GUI input field you would need to write something like
'defarray("f1","f2","f3","f4")' (without
the surrounding single quotes).
I agree that this is not very user-friendly and maybe we should add a
convenience wrapper function where you would be allowed to write
something like your original input instead, which would then be
processed internally. But that's one reason the version number is only
at 0.2 right now.
cheers
