I have tested the command in both cases you mentioned, and it appears to work correctly.

Do you have the most current EViews update?

EViews doesn't provide a command for Quick Fonts, but does have commands for setting each of the objects.

You can update existing text objects (as well as the text default) with the textdefault command, and the 'existing' option.

graph1.textdefault font("Arial", b) existing

You may now use the "axis" and "legend" options with both the template command and during graph creation:

graph1.template(axis, legend) templatename

x.line(t=templatename, axis, legend)

The changes will be in this afternoon's update.

Thanks for your suggestions. We have implemented both template options, and they should be included in the next EViews update. With the template command, you may now use the 'A' option to include the template's axis settings, and the 'L' option to include the legend text. (These can be used together...

The popup showing x & y coordinates is an internal feature of EViews. When you export the graph to another application (Word), the interpretation of the data is no longer under EViews' control.

Consider the exported graph simply an image. Active popups are not available outside of EViews.

If you are using a current version of EViews, it should use the same labeling method when you copy the graph.

However, if you are referring to something other than axis labeling or the problem persists with the current version of EViews, please include an example.

The reason behind the change for version 7 was to allow the application of one template to graphs with varying axis and scale setting. For instance, applying specific axis settings would prevent you from applying a template to both single-axis and dual-axis graphs. However, we believe the ability to...

The change is probably due to the version of EViews you're using, not a global setting. Were you running an older version of EViews on the other machine?

EViews 7 templates do not apply axis assignment or scale endpoint settings.

No, unfortunately, that isn't possible. I can see that it would be useful; hopefully it will be included in EViews in the future.

The first series will always be of the type you choose (spike, bar, or area), and the rest of the series will be lines.

EViews will either stack or draw a mixed graph, but not both at the same time.

You are correct that it is an ordering issue. The setupdate command changes the fundamental behavior of a graph. I would suggest calling it before setting other attributres such as color, labels, etc.

Thank you for your thorough example. MS Word is known to have limitations in reading eps files, particularly in dealing with fonts. Perhaps Corel Draw modifies the eps file on export to account for some of these limitations. We suggest exporting in another file format if you intend to use MS Word. I...

The setobslabel command sets the label text, and then you should use the axis command to set axis options:

graph01.axis angle(45)

Yes. You will be able to draw straight lines and arrows in EViews 8.
