[Gretl-users] new things in CVS

[Allin Cottrell]

Hello all,

A couple of new things to note in CVS, and also in the snapshots 
for Windows

http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl_install.exe

and OS X

http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl.dmg

1) You can add a line, defined via a formula, to a gretl/gnuplot 
graph.  Right click on the graph and choose "Edit", then select 
the "Lines" tab.  You should find a button labeled "Add line...", 
below the currently-present lines.  If you click on that you get a 
dialog box in which you can specify a new line.

2) Scalars: there is now an icon in the "Icon view" window which 
leads you to any defined scalars and/or allows you to define a 
scalar variable.  By right-clicking on this icon you also get the 
option of copying any existing scalars to the clipboard in 
comma-separated format.  And when you edit a scalar within the 
scalars spreadsheet, you can enter a formula (starting with '=') 
rather than a simple numerical value.  E.g. start editing a scalar 
and type "=pi".

For translators: the strings associated with these new options are 
marked for translation and are present in the CVS version of
gretl.pot.
