Re: [Gretl-users] [slightly OT] gretl's gnuplot output into Lyx

Some more details, especially on Windows: You cannot directly use the gnuplot version bundled with gretl, unfortunately, see my comment in https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11148#comment:5. Maybe some kind of link called 'gnuplot' could be created to point to the wgnuplot.exe that comes with gretl, but I'm not sure how to do that on Windows. (Trivial batch file?) I just installed another gnuplot instance. On Linux I guess this isn't necessary. And you can set Lyx's preferences yourself to recognize .plt as a gnuplot file, and then you can just write something like "gnuplot myvar --time-series" in your gretl script and the resulting file can indeed be used and inserted in the Lyx file. (Of course if a lot of raw data are kept in that gnuplot source file the file size may be bigger than the corresponding pdf. AFAICS it makes sense mainly if you sometimes want a different output than pdf and/or if you are ready to edit the gnuplot source directly if changes are needed.) hth, sven
