I'm in the process of making various graphs. In some of them, I want to include a zeroline where it's appropriate. For the zeroline I'm using the following subroutine:
Code: Select all
subroutine zeroline(graph g)
'sets a zeroline in a graph object, see forum http://forums.eviews.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12748&p=44484&hilit=zeroline#p44484
' note units are in graph virtual inches
%smpl=@pagesmpl
%smpl1=@word(%smpl, 1)
%smpl2=@word(%smpl, 2)
'!x_9 = g.@axispos(%smpl1, "b") ' x pos at observation 9
!x_end = g.@axispos(%smpl2, "b") ' x pos at observation 10
'finds observation length in a time-series page
smpl {%smpl1} {%smpl1}+1
%smplaux=@pagesmpl
%smpl1aux=@word(%smplaux, 1)
%smpl2aux=@word(%smplaux, 2)
!x_1 = g.@axispos(%smpl1aux, "b") ' x pos at observation 9
!x_2 = g.@axispos(%smpl2aux, "b") ' x pos at observation 10
!obsdist = !x_2-!x_1 ' the width of 1 observation
!xmax = !x_end+!obsdist*0.5 'the x pos of the end of the bottom axis
!yzero = g.@axispos(-0.002, "l") ' y position where the data equals 0
g.addarrow pos(0, !yzero, !xmax, !yzero) linewidth(1.2) color(@rgb(001,001,001)) startsym(none) endsym(none) pattern(1)
smpl {%smpl}
endsub
My problem is that when I'm formatting my datelabel, the zeroline tends to extend the width of the graf, which is quite frustrating. The code I'm including in my program to format the datelabel is the following:
Code: Select all
{%gr}{%version}.datelabel interval(year, 2, 2) span(on)I'll post some pictures of the result with and without datelabels so you can see the difference:
- with.JPG (18.85 KiB) Viewed 7221 times
- without.JPG (17.3 KiB) Viewed 7221 times
So, my goal is to get a four digit datelabel with the zeroline within the width of the graph.
Does anyone have a workaround to this problem?
