1. Is it possible to output a graph to file
from the gretl console? (I understand I can
show the graph and then right click it. I'm
looking for a command.)
2. Is it possible to output graphs to arbitrary
locations? (They always end up in my working
directory, even if I give a fully qualified path
name.)
3. It would be nice to be able to use an existing
graph object and output to file. E.g.,
g1.output c:\temp\temp.png
Apologies if I'm overlooking the obvious. I've been
away from gretl for awhile.
Thanks,
Alan

Ah, it should be, but I see there's a bug: this works if you put
the graph command into a script, as in
open data9-7
gnuplot PRICE INCOME --time --output=/home/cottrell/tmp/foo.eps
But if you type the same lines in the gretl console the --output
option is ignored and the graph is shown on screen. We'll fix
that shortly.

Should be possible. The example above writes an EPS file to the
specified location, which is not my gretl working directory.
It's possible there's a Windows-specific bug here, though I doubt
it; I'll have to test.
3. It would be nice to be able to use an existing
graph object and output to file. E.g.,
g1.output c:\temp\temp.png
Yes, that would be nice but it's not supported at present.

I was wrong: I'm getting no output files at all.
(I was finding an old one.) Here's what is in
the script output window. (I'm on Windows Vista.) ::
gretl version 1.8.4
Current session: 2009-09-21 16:37
? g3 <- gnuplot spot_ca time --with-lines --output=temp.png {set title \
'Canadian Spot Rate';}
g3 saved

The bug that was preventing output of a graph to a named file (via
the --output=filename option to the "gnuplot" command), when
entering commands in the gretl console, is now fixed in CVS and
the Windows snapshot.
