Re: [Gretl-users] things to test

It doesn't look as Windows-y as the default but some people might find it clearer in some respects, particularly in regard to the appearance of selected text and selected rows in some of the gretl windows. This is in the Windows snapshots. * OS X: I've built a version of the quartz package using clang as cross-compiler, and this has enabled me to add the "wxt" terminal to the gnuplot that we package with gretl. This means that you can now manipulate 3D plots with the mouse on OS X. (The Mac-specific "aqua" terminal is still there if you want it, but it doesn't support this sort of interaction.) This is in the special snapshot at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/snapshots/gretl-quartz-clang.... (Example of 3D plot: open Ramanathan data file data4-3; go to /View/Graph specified vars/3D plot; select gnp for x-axis, intrate for y-axis and housing for z-axis. Hold mouse button 1 down to rotate the plot.)

I'm particularly on the lookout for any bad side effects of these changes. Allin Cottrell _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list Gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-users
