For a high-low, or a high-low-close graph, follow the command name with the name of the high series, followed by the low series, and an optional close series. If four series names are provided, EViews will use them in the following order: high-low-open-close.
When used with a matrix or group or an existing graph, EViews will use the first series as the high series, the second series as the low series, and if present, the third series as the close. If there are four or more series, EViews will use them in the following order: high-

low-open-close. When used as a matrix view, the columns of the matrix are used in place of the series.
Note that if you wish to display a high-low-open graph, you should use an “NA”-series for the close values.
Options
Template and printing options
o= template |
Use appearance options from the specified template. |
|
template may be a predefined template keyword |
|
(‘default” - current global defaults, “classic”, “modern”, |

|
graph in the workfile. |
|
|
t=graph_name |
Use appearance options and copy text and shading from |
|
the specified graph. |
|

|
style specified using the “o=” option above. |
|
|
w / -w |
[Apply / Remove] wide modifiers of the base template |
|
style specified using the “o=” option above. |
|
|
p |
Print the graph. |
|
|
The options which support the “-” may be proceeded by a “+” or “-” indicating whether to turn on or off the option. The “+” is optional.
Panel Options
The following options apply when graphing panel structured data.

panel=arg |
Panel data display: “stack” (stack the cross-sections), |
(default taken |
“individual” or “1” (separate graph for each cross-sec- |
from global settion), “combine” or “c” (combine each cross-section in |
|
tings) |
single graph; one time axis), “mean” (plot means |
|
across cross-sections), “mean1se” (plot mean and +/- |
|
1 standard deviation summaries), “mean2sd” (plot |
|
mean and +/- 2 s.d. summaries), “mean3sd” (plot |
|
mean and +/- 3 s.d. summaries), “median” (plot |
|
median across cross-sections), “med25” (plot median |
and +/- .25 quantiles), “med10” (plot median and +/-
.10 quantiles), “med05” (plot median +/- .05 quantiles), “med025” (plot median +/- .025 quantiles), “med005” (plot median +/- .005 quantiles), “medmxmn” (plot median, max and min).
Examples
hilo mshigh mslow
displays a high-low graph using the series MSHIGH and MSLOW.
hilo(p) mshigh mslow msopen msclose
plots and prints the high-low-open-close graph of the four series.
group stockprice mshigh mslow msclose
stockprice.hilo
displays the high-low-close view of the group STOCKPRICE.
stockprice.hilo(t=templt1)
creates an high-low-close graph view of the group G1, using the settings of the graph object TEMPLT1 as a template.

legend |
Graph Proc |
|
|
Set legend appearance and placement in graphs.
When legend is used with a multiple graph, the legend settings apply to all graphs. See setelem (p. 126) for setting legends for individual graphs in a multiple graph.
Syntax
Graph Proc: |
graph_name.legend option_list |
Note: the syntax of the legend proc has changed considerably from version 3.1 of EViews. While not documented here, the EViews 3 options are still (for the most part) supported. However, we do not recommend using the old options as future support is not guaranteed.
Options
columns(arg) |
Columns for legend: “auto” (automatically choose num- |
(default=“auto”) |
ber of columns), int (put legend in specified number of |
|
columns). |
|
|
display/–display |
Display/do not display the legend. |
|
|
inbox/–inbox |
Put legend in box/remove box around legend. |
|
|
position(arg) |
Position for legend: “left” or ”l” (place legend on left |
|
side of graph), “right” or “r” (place legend on right side |
|
of graph), “botleft” or “bl” (place left-justified legend |
|
below graph), “botcenter” or “bc” (place centered leg- |
|
end below graph), “botright” or “br” (place right-justi- |
|
fied legend below graph), “(h, v)” (the first number h |
|
specifies the number of virtual inches to offset to the |
|
right from the origin. The second number v specifies |
|
the virtual inch offset below the origin. The origin is the |
|
upper left hand corner of the graph). |
font([face], [pt], [+/- b], [+/- i], [+/- u], [+/- s])
Set characteristics of legend font. The font name (face), size (pt), and characteristics are all optional. face should be a valid font name, enclosed in double quotes. pt. should be the font size in points. The remaining options specify whether to turn on/off boldface (b), italic (i), underline (u), and strikeout (s) styles.
