Dear Allin, Thanks for your quick response. Attached please find the plt file which is generated by the following script under zh_TW environment of the gretl. <script> open djclose smpl 1988/01/04 1989/12/29 gnuplot djclose --time-series --with-lines --output=gf1.plt </script> I tried to use wgnuplot.exe to open this attached gf1.plt. And the Traditional Chinese characters are decoded correctly on the x-axis within wgnuplot.exe. Note that I did not editing the content of the gf1.plt. It was automatically generated by the above script. A strange thing is that the Chinese characters in the title of plot are shown correctly from the same plt file (see the attached png image). Thanks Yi-Nung 2010/6/21 Allin Cottrell <cottrell(a)wfu.edu&gt;

Dear Allin I've just downloaded the CVS for windows minutes ago and testes it by runnung the same script as before. I found the issue (Chinese characters are not shown correctly for names of months on the x-axis) remains there. It seems nothing changes on the gf1 plot. Please let me know how I can help on testing or debugging. Many thanks Yi-Nung Yang <script> open djclose smpl 1988/01/04 1989/12/29 gf1 <- gnuplot djclose --time-series --output=display --with-lines gf1.show </script> 2010/6/23 Allin Cottrell <cottrell(a)wfu.edu&gt;

I've now committed a further fix: I think the trouble was that in locales that don't use UTF-8 (and Windows never does), the translated month names, which come from the C library function strftime(), would come out in the wrong encoding. Hopefully the month names should now be OK with "set encoding utf8". Allin

Dear Allin, I tried both via GUI and script, the results are the same No, through a normal GUI editing Yes, Chinese characters are shown correctly. The same problem occurs no matter which default language I use. Thanks Yi-Nung 2010/7/14 Allin Cottrell <cottrell(a)wfu.edu&gt;

Dear Allin Ok and thanks, I can replicate what you described. It is ok under win XP to save the plot as an EMF file. However, it is still the same "...conversion input..." problem if I save it as an EPS file. Additionally, I note that "Copy to clipboard" is disabled under ubuntu (remains enabled under win xp). Is it intended? Yi-Nung Yang 2010/7/15 Allin Cottrell <cottrell(a)wfu.edu&gt;:

1. "Save as EPS" now produces another error message: "... exit code 1" (see the attached PNG file) 2. Yes, PDF part is working great with Chinese characters. 3. "Copy to clipboard" produces no message BUT the Chinese characters are messy when paste to Word. 4. "Save as PNG" is working great with Chinese characters. 5. "Save as EMF" is working I use the following script to generate the plot where there are four double-byte Chinese characters as a title of the plot. open djclose smpl 1988/01/04 1989/12/29 gf1 <- gnuplot djclose {set title "中文標題";} --time-series --output=display --with-lines gf1.show Thanks, I see. Please let me know how I can help on this?

Hi all, Interesting series. Whats it from ? What's it analyse out, at ? Any results with it ? Mmmmmm---interesting data--- Cheers and best regards from Richard Hudson Dr RJF Hudson Qld Australia rjfhud(a)powerup.com.au ----- Original Message ----- From: yinung at Gmail To: Gretl list Sent: Monday, June 21, 2010 3:47 AM Subject: [Gretl-users] About gnuplot of the gretl in Traditional Chineseversion Dear Allin I found that if I use a shorter subsample, for example, running the following script open djclose smpl 1988/01/04 1989/12/29 gf1 <- gnuplot djclose --time-series --output=display --with-lines gf1.show By examining the gnuplot command, it seems ok as after editing the gnuplot command: set xtics (....) After the "set xtics" command, there are some Chinese characters which look correct. However, these Chinese characters are not appropriately shown in the graph windows. I realize that this might be caused by the translation of the GNUPLOT. Do you have any suggestions?
