Dear Eviewers

graphing panel data using the "line" command with the option "p=stack" generates a line chart which shows the series as ordered first along the cross sections and secondly along the time dimension.

In the example code shown below this would be 1-2000 1-2001 1-2002 ... 1-2010 2-2000 2-2001 ... 2-2010 3-2000 3-2001, etc.

I am looking for an approach which allows showing the data as ordered along the time dimension first and only secondly along the cross sections secondly, providing 1-2000 2-2000 3-2000 1-2001 2-2001 3-2001, 1-2002 etc.

Is there a way approach to achieve this?

Best, mamo

Code: Select all


wfcreate a 2000 2010 4
series x=nrnd
graph gra.line(panel=stack) x
show gra

Only with trickery.

Code: Select all


wfcreate a 2000 2010 4
series x=nrnd

alpha t = @datestr(@date, "YY")
series cx = @crossid

pagestruct t cx

graph gra.line(panel=stack) x
show gra

Many thanks - works, but gives rise to an ugly observation labeling (though this can be rectified by making cx a appropriately defined alpha series as well).

This leads me to suggest an improvement: implement an additional panel option - such as "panel=interleave" - to the respective graphics commands in an upcoming version of EVIEWS.

Best, Matthias
