This is on Windows? The drivers are different in the two cases.
The cairo-based driver is used for gretl's PNG plots, but if you
send the plot commands to gnuplot that will be using the Windows
GDI driver. So if it's a gnuplot problem it looks like it's the
pngcairo driver.
OK, let me try to be a bit more careful.
I am running gretl 1.8.4 under Vista (64bit).
I do not use the snapshots because I want to
be sure I see what my students see.
When I create a gretl graph object and "show" it,
I see the missing pixels problem. (If I then save
the graph in PNG format and view that, then I *still*
see the missing pixels.) However if I open the
graph object code (menu: Edit Plot Commands) and
click the "run" icon, the gnuplot graph displays
without the lost pixels! So what is different
between the two gnuplot windows?
Thanks,
