Date axis
Posted: Thu Apr 15, 2010 1:16 am
Hi,
the application: I have calculated the autocorrelation function of two series for lag 1 to 28, saved them in a vector. However, because the graph editor for matrices is not the same as for time series (less possibilities), I converted the vectors back to series, grouped them.
the problem:
I'm not able to manipulate the date axis. So far I reached what I was looking for, but the space between the two digit numbers is too small, hence I would like to show only 1 3 5 .. or any other steps...
Maybe you further know a better way to change the axis to integer numbers instead of date??
Here my code:
Thanks for suggestions,
Katjes

Here my code:
Code: Select all
smpl 1996Q1 1996Q1+27 ' I reduced the sample size that the vector dimension fits to the sample
mtos(AR_EU_n, AAR_EU_n)
mtos(AR_EU_t, AAR_EU_t)
group AAR_EU AAR_EU_n AAR_EU_t
freeze(fig_AR_EU) AAR_EU.line
fig_AR_EU.axis(l) font("Arial", 12i) zeroline 'adds the zeroline
fig_AR_EU.axis(b) font("Arial", 12) angle(0) 'doesnot turn date
fig_AR_{%c}.setobslabel(series) ar_zeit ' AR_ZEIT is a alpha series with the values 1 to 28
