Hello everyone on the list. Hope you're all well.
How do I format Gretl charts in a style similar to The Economist magazine?
Does anyone have an example script?
Thank you for your attention.

Uhm, what do you have in mind,
exactly? I've seen many different kinds
of plots in the Economist. Could you post an example of what you want?

Hi Carlos and Jack,
Carlos, I guess you refer to this kind of format? the background and the
labels? I have in some part of my hard drive the code to modify the
background in gnuplot. let me find it

Actually, instead of modifying the background directly in gnuplot, it
may be useful to have a transparent background instead of white, and
then you can manipulate the background independently. From the gnuplot
documentation (6.0, for example), the pngcairo terminal supports
transparency, while pdfcairo does not, unfortunately. But even with
pngcairo I was not able to get the gretl+gnuplot combo to produce a
transparent png plot file. Maybe this would be a useful option to have.

Something like this, perhaps?
<hansl>
open denmark
list X = IBO IDE
plot X
options with-lines time-series
# to draw a background for the plot area only
literal set object 1 rect from graph 0,0 to graph 1,1 fillcolor "0xfdecba"
behind
# or alternatively, for the whole thing
# literal set object 1 rect from screen 0,0 to screen 1,1 fillcolor
"0xfdecba" behind
end plot --output=display
</hansl>
