Chart pool series syntax

[javiersan]

Hi,

I have a pool of countries and I want to chart the same series for each member in one chart and I can't figure out the programming syntax.

pool ctry arg_ dom_ per_ bra_

The following combinations are not valid:
graph gr1.line(x) ?gdppc
graph gr1.ctry.line(x) ?gdppc
graph gr1.line(x) ctry.?gdppc

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Javier

I don't believe we support graphs from pool objects like that.

Why not just put them into a group and graph the group?

Code: Select all

group group1 *gdppc freeze(gr1) group1.line

Javier,

One approach would be to try something like the following:

' *********************************************************
' Graph Desired Countries
' *********************************************************
graph graphcountry.line(panel="combine") gdppc_country1 gdppc_country2 gdppc_country3 ... gdppc_countryN

'set the color for each country's line
graphcountry.setelem(1) lcolor(black)
graphcountry.setelem(2) lcolor(red)
graphcountry.setelem(3) lcolor(blue)
graphcountry.setelem(N) lcolor(green)

'Add a title and identifying text for the axes
graphcountry.addtext(t) Country GDPPC Values
graphcountry.addtext(b) Date
graphcountry.addtext(l) GDPPC Values
' *******************************************************

It's not as elegant as being able to use gdppc? but should get the job done.

Thanks both for your suggestions.

Of course an easier approach might just be to convert the pool into a panel workfile, which would open up a number of panel/pool specific graphing options.
