GUI in Stata 8
Every Stata command (except the programming commands) has been implemented as
a dialog that can be accessed from the menus, which are organized by topic.
You can select a command from the Statistics, Graphics, or
Data menu and fill in the dialog:
We displayed the dialog by clicking the Statistics menu,
selecting Survey data analysis,
selecting Distribution-specific models, and
selecting Negative binomial regression for survey data.
Besides making Stata easier to use, the GUI allows you to discover features you
never knew existed. Just to make it easier, there is an all-new
topical index built into the online help system.
Even command-line aficionados will find Stata 8's new GUI useful. The GUI
makes commands you are using for the first time easier to learn by showing you
the command and the proper syntax for the operation that you wish to perform.
Programmability
The same tools Stata uses to create its GUI are available to you as well.
You can extend the GUI by creating your own dialogs and adding your
own menus. The same code you write on your computer will work across
Windows, Macintosh, and Unix.
