Very cool, thanks Allin! I just combined this with your new dash-type line styles and
everything works great (Win 7).

Subject: [Gretl-users] new GUI convenience: index series
In git and snapshots there's a new GUI convenience: point-and-click
construction of 100-based indices of selected time series.
It's not rocket science to construct such series via scripting or console, but I
wanted this for classroom use -- when using gretl for displaying data in a
macroeconomics class, for example.
Case in point: From a blank slate, open the fedstl database and import the
series nicur (National Income), wascur (Wages and
Salaries) and cpatax (Corporate profits after tax). Set the sample range to
start in 2000:1. Swipe across the 3 series, right click, and choose "Add index
values". Then swipe across the three newly created "i_*" index series,
right
click and do "Time series plot"
(on a single graph).
You can immediately see why US corporations are in great need of a tax cut...
not!
Allin
