Package: gretl
Version: 1.8.0-2
Severity: normal
First of all, thanks for maintaining Debian's
gretl package.
I think it's fantastic.
The main reason I'm writing is that I happened to
notice that boxplots didn't work with version
4.0.0-5 of gnuplot.
View->graph specified vars->Boxplots... (and using
criteria like those used in the help window)
resulted in the following error
gnuplot> plot '-' using 1:3:2:5:4 w candlesticks lt 2 lw 2 notitle
whiskerbars 0.5, '-' using 1:2:2:2:2 w candlesticks lt -1 notitle, '-' using
1:2 w points pt 1 notitle
^
"/home/kingsley/.gretl/gpttmp.VdHCXD", line 21: ';' expected
'
However, I'm happy to report that upgrading
gnuplot to version 4.2.4-4 solved the problem.
My cursory search of gnuplot bugs related to box
plots found no specific fix, so unfortunately,
this bug report won't say the exact version of
gnuplot that fixed it.
I suppose, if you're so inclined, you could make
gretl depend on version 4.2.4-4 or later of
gnuplot.
Thanks,
Kingsley
