when I try to generate a xy-plot with the "--loess-fit" option using the loop command foreach i 6 10 100 gnuplot hph_$i hpwa_lab_$i --loess-fit --output=hp_h_wa_lab_$i.eps endloop the compiled files will be corrupted. For the other "fit"-options it works well. Is there a reason for this?

Excellent work Allin, thanks very much for that! ;) Best, Artur 2009/3/28 Allin Cottrell <cottrell(a)wfu.edu&gt;: > On Sat, 28 Mar 2009, artur tarassow wrote: > >> when I try to generate a xy-plot with the "--loess-fit" option using >> the loop command >> >> foreach i 6 10 100 >> gnuplot hph_$i hpwa_lab_$i --loess-fit --output=hp_h_wa_lab_$i.eps >> endloop >> >> the compiled files will be corrupted.

I tried this: open data4-1; open gretl console; type gnuplot 1 2 --loess-fit This gave me a plot that I could edit OK with the GUI plot editor (change the title and so on).
