Problem when graphing with linked series

[leah]

Hello,
I tried to create a line graph using a series in the active workfile and a series linked from another page, and the resulting graph was tiny and squished to the side. I've attached an example program that illustrates the problem. (If you switch the order that the series are graphed in, it solves the problem, but I thought I'd mention it anyways.) Thanks!

Can't run the program without having whatever database you used.

But, either way we'll need to know the version and build date of your copy of EViews (Help->About EViews).

EViews 9, 64-bit version, April 3, 2015 build.

The tiny-graph thing happens if you use any series.

Yeah, got it. Should be an easy fix

Great. There's also something funny happening with getting fitted values from an equation. I've attached an example program with an equation that contains an independent variable that extends back further in time than the dependent variable. When the sample is specified exactly for the period that the dependent variable isn't available, the fit command will fill in fitted values for that period. However, when the sample also spans the period that the dependent variable IS available, the fit command will not generate values for the empty period. The same thing happens with the forecast command.

Also, the return character \n doesn't seem to work anymore when adding text to a graph.

Another problem graphing with linked series: regarldless of the order in which links/series are specified in the graph creation command, the link is the last element in the graph.

For example,

Code: Select all

wfcreate(page=p1) a 1945 2014 series x=nrnd pagecreate(page=p2) a 1945 2014 link xlink.linkto p1\x series y=nrnd graph gr1.line xlink y graph gr2.line y xlink

gr1 and gr2 are idential, rather than having the two graphed series in opposite positions.

Graphing linked series in most cases means graphing series with different frequencies. Because of how our graphs currently work, in some conditions if the native (non-linked) series are not first in the graph order, the graph will yield undesired behavior.

I understand not preserving the order is also undesirable behavior but as of right now it is not as undesirable as the alternatives. We are looking into resolving the issue but it will take some time.
