how to plot a function in gretl, such as y=2+x+x^2?
See /Tools/Plot a curve. In the box that appears, type the
right-hand side (that is, skip the "y="):
2+x+x^2
You want something that is a valid argument to the "plot" command in
gnuplot.

Something like this:
<hansl>
set echo off
sprintf fname "%s/tmp.plt", dotdir
outfile @fname --write
print "plot sin(x)"
outfile --close
gnuplot --input="@fname" --output=display
</hansl>

thank Allin very much, could you explain the syntax below
sprintf fname "%s/tmp.plt", dotdir
thanks!

Hi,
The syntax comes from the C programming language. In the example you
are using sprintf that prints to a variable opposed to printf that
prints to the standard output (stdout), usually the screen.
fname is the variable name to receive output
"%s/tmp.plt" is the formatting block, where % followed by a special
symbol indicates the placeholder and the type of arguments to receive,
in this case %s means a string.
dotdir is a variable containing the .gretl folder path (usually in
Linux is hidden).
In the end, fname=.gretl/tmp.plt (if in Linux)
