Graphing panel data: one cannot render dual axes overlapping manually at once for each cross-sectional sub-chart

[mamo]

Dear EVIEWers

I use Eviews 11, Sept 2019 build

in a panel chart which has individual charts for each cross-section, it is not possible to make two vertical axes (left and right) overlapping manually, for all cross-sectional sub-charts at once, by using the menu "Options for all graphs" of the graph objects menus.

Rather, one has to change the overlapping of axes for each sub-chart individually via "options for the selected".

This is cumbersome when the combined chart contains many sub-charts from a panel structure.

I found that it is possible to render axes of combined graphs showing individual panel graphs as overlapping in a program (see example program below).

This bug does not happen when graphing data which do not have a panel structure, or when panel data are shown in a stacked or a combined graph.

Best,
