setelem in scatter diagrams

[zezza]

As a follow up to the discussion here

I would suggest to improve the treatment of SETELEM when using a scatter diagram. In the current Eviews version,

Code: Select all

mychart.SETELEM(1) symbol(FILLEDCIRCLE) linecolor(red)

will, as expected, draw the first Y series with a red circle. But the instruction

Code: Select all

mychart.SETELEM(1) legend(This is my first Y series)

will attach the legend to the variable on the X axis, so that to provide a legend to the first (second, third, etc.) Y series I have to call a separate SETELEM instruction. With two Y series what I need is now

Code: Select all

mychart.SETELEM(1) symbol(FILLEDCIRCLE) linecolor(red) mychart.SETELEM(2) symbol(FILLEDCIRCLE) linecolor(black) mychart.SETELEM(1) legend(This is my X variable) mychart.SETELEM(2) legend(This is my first Y series) mychart.SETELEM(3) legend(This is my second Y series)

which is somewhat counter-intuitive
