Would it be possible to program the capability of adding the values of a
variable as labels to the points of a scatter plot?
To this end, it would be great if gretl was extended so that it could
import textual variables as well.

I haven't tried it, but
it might work to use the values of the wanted
variable as so-called "case markers" or "observation labels" (right
now
I believe both terms mean the same thing in gretl), and then please see
the paragraph "Displaying data labels" in ch. 6 of the user guide.
Whether it works for you or not, it would be useful if you could report
back with what you found out.
To this end, it would be great if gretl was extended so that it could
import textual variables as well.
I believe you are talking about "string-valued series", please see
chapter 16 of the user guide.

If I may get back to my suggestion, I understand that it may be possible to
add data labels via commands, but it would appear to me that it would not
be too difficult to add an option of selecting the values of a variable as
labels, since the option of adding labels to individual points is already
built in in the edit dialog of a scatter plot.

John, let me ask the more fundamental question, why would one want the
values as labels? I mean in a scatter plot the values are on the axes
and the location of the data point communicates those values already.
OK, sometimes one wants to see the exact digits and then a kind of
mouse-over tooltip effect is nice. But really printing/displaying the
values right now does not sound to me like a natural GUI feature.
