Description
Stata's two programming languages, ado and Mata, each support
object-oriented programming. [P] class explains object-oriented
programming in ado. Most users interested in object-oriented programming
will wish to do so in Mata. See [M-2] class to learn about
object-oriented programming in Mata.
Classes are a programming feature of Stata that are especially useful for
dealing with graphics and GUI problems, although their use need not be
restricted to those topics. Class programming is an advanced programming
topic and will not be useful to most programmers.
