Looking for Graphing help

Postby Martin » Mon Apr 13, 2009 6:47 am

Trying to create graphs that will be a little more informative then the normal options.

In regards to stacked bar graphs. Is there an option or command in eviews to automatically stack them and evaluated them to 100% (to show each items share of the total)? Or do I have to manipulate the series themselves?

In regards to line graphs, how do I go about shading the space between two series (so I can show the difference)?

I don't believe we offer either of those options. Sorry!

If the difference between the series is always of the same sign, then the Area Band graph might be good enough for you. It's really designed to show things like confidence intervals (hence the restriction), but it may be of use...

I gave that a try but was not to please with the results. So I just am going to leave it as a line graph for the moment.

The stack 100% bar graph I ended up just manipulated the series and then redoing the graph and setting the axis. But I think it should be a graphic option. It is a pretty common graph and would be more efficient to have it at a press of a button rather then spending the time to manipulate the data.

Only touch the surface of EVIEWS but it has been a pleasure to use. I can’t wait to get into modeling and forecasting.

Again thanks for the timely replies.
