Allin,
I have taken a look at gretl 1.2.9 and first of all, I must say that I have
been playing with the new features (specially "linear restriction" tests) and
all seems to work well.
But I have also been checking some other features, and I detected a bug in
graphics. As you already know we may put three labels
into an already displayed graphic through the "graphic controller" of gretl
(right-clicking on the graph, selecting "edit"). This is working quite well
when I ask for a graphic of a defined variable, but if I run an OLS
regression and, from the menu of the model window, I select
"graphics-residual graphic vs time" I cannot put a label on this graph.
I run gretl from a console and when I click on the little mouse in the labels
dialog box, I obtain the error
"Couldn't get coordinates"
If I put manually two coordinates in the box, this is also not working,
nothing happens when I click on "apply". After two or three tries, gretl
exits.
Remember I am running gretl installed trhough the "generic" rpm over Linux
Mandrake 10.0

This means gretl can't map between the mouse coordinates on screen and
the data coordinates for the graph, because it has been unable to get
the necessary information from the gnuplot graph (e.g. where do the X
and Y axes start and end, in data space?).
This could be due to a number of things, related to the gnuplot
version and/or the language setting (the issue of the decimal
separator -- though I thought I had that fixed!).
I'm having difficulty replicating the problem here. If you have time,
could you give me some more details (gnuplot version, and details of
the graph would be useful: you said it was a residual plot, but it
might be helpful to know from what regression). Thanks.
Allin.

Allin,
excuse me for the lag in the response. I have been on vacancies in august.
The first problem seems to be solved (??? I did not do anything), now I can
put labels on the residual graphs if I put manually the coordinates.
Clicking on the little mouse does not work in this residual graph, but works
correctly if I ask for an original series graph.
I am using Gnuplot 4.0.0 (installed from a Mandrake rpm). The data I am using
is data3-6.gdt, and I am running OLS with Ct as dependent variable and Yt as
dependent. The graph I am trying to add a label is "residual graphic vs
time".

Thanks for the details. I am now able to reproduce the problem (using
a standard installation of gnuplot 4.0). I should be able to fix this
for the next release.
