Re: [Gretl-users] boxplot command flexibility

I should have added that I wrote a hansl-script doing this job (see below). Since gnuplot-version v.4.?. one can use the "set style data boxplot" environment, and does not necessarily have to rely on the candlestick-framework, as currently implemented in gretl. Nevertheless, since plotting is a basic function users use, it would be nice if one could implement some more flexibility into the natively offered boxplot-function in gretl...
