Dear all,
I have a panel dataset and want to plot certain variables over time. I
constructed a time index applying: tindex = year*100 + month, and hence
I obtain for November 2014 something like "201411".
For plotting, the following command is used under a previously
restricted dataset (evaluate data only for a single country using):
<hansl>
smpl country==1 --restricted
gnuplot x1 x2 tindex --with-lines --single-yaxis --output="@fname" \
{ set term eps font 'Helvetica,13' lw 3 ; \
set xdata time ; \
set timefmt "%Y%m" ; set format x "%m/%Y" ; }
</hansl>
Unfortunately, the x-axis is not correctly shown. The temporary output
text-file you can find below. Does anybody have a clue what's wrong here?
Thanks,
Artur

Well, what do you mean by "not correctly shown", what is happening?

This is on Windows? If so, what's the build date of gretl?

The reason I ask is that this looks very much like a bug relating to
the handling of time in gnuplot that I fixed on the 29th of January.

Hi Allin,
I am using the cvs from 2015-02-20 on linux. However, I am just
compiling the latest cvs, and let you know if the error remains.

Ah, OK, thanks. If this is on Linux, can you tell me what the gnuplot
version is? (gnuplot --version).

Nothing has changed after the update to latest cvs. The gnuplot version
is "gnuplot 4.6 patchlevel 1".
Best,

OK, now I see what's happening. Your gnuplot "literal block", {...},
includes "set xdata time", which changes the interpretation of the
values in the x column. But gretl has already written an x-range
specification into the plot file, and this is no longer valid after
the change of interpretation: the x-range is set to a window that
contains no data.
You can fix this by including "unset xrange;" in your literal block;
this will trash the specification that gretl set.

Mmhh, this doesn't solve the problem here.
The current text file output is the following (see below). Commenting
the line "set xrange [200068.225:201444.775]" results in a properly
labeled x-axis. But "unset xrange" does not prevent gretl from printing
this line.

That line gets printed before your literal lines; there's no way to
stop that. You have to countermand it. If "unset xrange" doesn't work
then try "set xrange [*:*]".
