Hey,

I'm doing calculations with different series and different "settings". I'd like to put the information about the series and the settings in the title of the graph. I know how to change the title, but I don't know how to:

1. Get the variable names/values as strings, and
2. concatenate them to a title.

My code looks like the following:
where the title should look like the following:
"Series = loggdp, quarters = 3, threshold = 0.01%"

Thanks in advance!

I'm not quite sure what you're asking here.

To retrieve the name of a series (or any object), you can use objectname.@name. But that's generally silly since you need to use the name of the object.

I think it would be easiest if I would be able to access a series with its name as string.

E.g.:
Is there any possibility to do this?

Although in that particular case you'd be better off just doing:

Strange, I tried something similar before (which I also found here), but that didn't work. Whatever, this works now, thanks!

Two more questions:
1. How do I concatenate strings? Using just a "+" leads to
%seriesname alone as title works fine, there are no quotation marks, but "adding" another string with a "+" leads to quotation marks around the seriesname, which I don't want.

edit:
I use "finseries" for some calculations afterwards, hence I use it as additional variable (this makes it easier to replace it by another series).

Using + works.

Using + works.

Not really?
gives

Code: Select all

%mytitle = %seriesname + "test" gr1.addtext(t) {%mytitle}

Perfect, thanks a lot!
