Apparently gretl has a short limit on string length when using setinfo. So part of my ylabel string (which I was setting with setinfo) is not being passed to gnuplot. That explains the clipping on the right. Can you provide a longer string? But I still sometimes lose a one (?) pixel band at the very left of the label. I've checked that the pixels are really missing (that it's not just a screen resolution issue) by saving the file as PNG and resizing it. They are missing. It is also not a font problem bc it happens only at the beginning of the label. (E.g., I can get rid of it by adding a space.) Here is the more puzzling thing. Suppose I see this problem (missing pixels) in a graph I have saved as a graph obejct. Now I go to the icon view, pick Edit Plot Commands, and without changing anything, I run the commands: I do not see the problem! (Can I be sure this is using the version of gnuplot that comes with gretl?) Finally, I uncovered what I consider a bug. (?) If I use setinfo to set a name, it is used as my ylabel, **even if** I explicitly set a ylabel. This violates the specificity principle, which should give priority to the most specific request (the ylabel I set in a specific graph). Thanks, Alan
