You may print the graph to a postscript file from xstata (menu
file | print graph, then tick print to file). The resulting postscript
file can then be translated into encapsulated postscript for
inclusion into your Star Office document, using ps2eps or ps2epsi.
This tool belongs to the Ghostscript tools package and is probably
already installed on your machine.
Another option available from both stata(console) and xstata is to
use the translator gph2eps included in stata (type -man translategph-
from within stata for details), to convert a gph file into encapsulated
postscript. A -translate yourfile.gph yourfile.eps- should do the
trick. There is a logo option there, if the stata logo is not wanted.
I hope this helps,
