The glitch is in my head

Something that never came up until we had the pandemic recession, because the recession was so short:

The whole year's RGDP for 2020 shows up on the graph before the 2020 recession. When I first noticed this, it really threw me. It's even more confusing (and easier to miss) for quarterly data.

I understand that the 2020 data point is shown at start-of-year. But somehow I missed the significance of that for several years.

Oh!

I just noticed that the FRED system now SHOWS ME that my CPI data has been converted to "annual" frequency using "average" aggregation.

THANK YOU!

I can't figure out what's going on with this

In the "Format" window for formatting a FRED graph, sometimes the Height and Width fields for size-of-graph are there, and sometimes they are missing.

If it has to be that way, so be it. I'm hoping it's just an oversight that can be fixed.

Oh, you made my day!

 I just found the Height and Width options for graph size:

Thank you so much. You have simplified my life.

 

Truth be told, the height and width fields might have been there for weeks, dunno. I only just noticed em now. Looks good, too.

Oh!

I just got a message that FREDGraph left a line off my graph and I might want to uncheck the LogScale option.

Thank you!
