[Gretl-users] "colname" and "rowname" after matrix functions

[Henrique]

Dear Allin,

  

When I use matrix functions Gretl exhibits different behavior regarding column
names and row names. Please take a look at the following script:  

  

<hansl>

matrix Mat = {1, 2; 2, 1; 4, 1}  
strings Cols = defarray("Col. 1", "Col. 2")  
strings Rows = defarray("Row 1", "Row 2", "Row 3")  
colnames(Mat, Cols)  
rownames(Mat, Rows)  
  
matrix msortbyMat = msortby(Mat, 2)  
matrix mreverseMat = mreverse(Mat)  
  

print Mat  
print msortbyMat  
print mreverseMat  

</hansl>

  

The msortby function keeps the names but the mreverse doesn't. Is this the
expected behavior?

  

Best regards,

Henrique Andrade
