Re: [Gretl-users] Defining Panel Data

For example, when I load the data into gretl, it recognizes the

full data set to say two counties and graph them (using "gnuplot
County1 County2 -time-series -with-lines") the data are plotted on
a graph with an x-axis scale from 1-51 instead of 1990 - 2040.
How can I get it to recognize the data as that will create x-axis
labels in -time-series graphs automatically with the respective
dates rather than the periods 1 - 51?
I should have asked: have you tried playing with "Panel Plot" in the
GUI? It's available via the right-click menu when you select a
single series in the main window. If there's a variable named "year"
or "period" in the dataset (on a case-insensitive comparison), and
it appears to be suitable to the purpose, it is used for the x-axis
on the time-series plot options "single graph: group means",
"single graph: groups overlaid" and "multiple plots arranged
vertically".
