Re: [Gretl-users] gnuplot shaded areas
Thank you, Allin; this works.
What I am wondered aboit ist that on Linux the error message is much
clearer and helpful than on Windows. The one linux is:
<ERROR>
plot \
^
"/home/artur/.gretl/gpttmp.LQy4tc", line 25: invalid character \
*** error in function DMplot, line 53
gnuplot
</ERROR>
The one on Windows was not really helpful. But I guess this is
gnuplot-related, right?

When you want to write a backslash for line-continuation in a gnuplot
script via gretl's "printf" command, you need to double it since backslash
is the escape character. So, for example:
printf "plot \\\n"
printf "'-' using 1:2:3 w filledcurve lt 8, \\\n"
and so on.
