Interface
Windows interface
Stata 12 has a new layout with features that make it easier than ever to
manage your data. That’s the new Properties window at the bottom
right. It lets you manage your variables, including their names, labels,
value labels, notes, formats, and storage types.
The Review and Variables windows let you filter commands and variables.
Press Ctrl+F and you can search the Results window, too.
Enhanced Data Editor
Just like the new main interface, the Data Editor has Variables and
Properties windows. You can manage your variables with them: rename,
drag-and-drop reorder, change formats, set types, add notes, and more. And,
there is a new Clipboard Preview tool that lets you see and prepare your raw
data before pasting. Simply pull down Edit > Paste Special.
New Viewer
The Viewer, where you see Stata’s help system, view log files, and
update Stata, has been completely redesigned. The new Dialog,
Also See, and Jump To menus give you quick access to exactly
what they say. And, the Viewer now supports tabs so you can open multiple
help files and documents in a single window.
New Mac interface
Stata for Mac now has a unified interface, which means no more lost windows.
And it now supports a tabbed Graph window, tabbed Viewer, and tabbed Do-file
Editor. The Do-file Editor gets syntax highlighting and bookmarks and the
Command window also gets syntax highlighting. Stata is fully compatible
with Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion).
More
Memory management is now
automatic.
You can now import and export
Excel® files, and there is even a graphical Import
Preview tool to let you see your data and make adjustments before importing
them.
The Expression Builder can now access parameter estimates, returned results,
macros, and more, so you can build expressions for nlcom and
testnl.
Stata for Windows now supports exporting results (log files) and graphs
directly to PDF files. And, like Stata for Mac, Stata for Windows now
supports file drag-and-drop.
Stata for Unix now supports tabbed Do-file Editors, just like Windows and
Mac.
