Subject   st: creating a difficult graph (not sure what to call it)
Date   Fri, 29 Nov 2002 15:09:11 +1300

I am hoping to create a graph which is an X by Y matrix.  Each cell is
shaded according to the percentage of observations in that cell (in some
sense this is a table in graphical form).  Does anyone have any ideas how to
approach this in stata?  Maybe an example will help:

X is industries, Y is occupations:  the graph would look like this where
letters represent shadings based on the % in each cell

	   1	    2	    3            4
	---------------------------------
   1	|  lllll	|  lllll	|  mmm	| mmm	|
	---------------------------------
   2	| dddd	|  ddd	|  lllll	| mmm	|
	---------------------------------
   3	| llllll	| mmm	| llll	| ddd	|
	---------------------------------
   4	| dddd	|  mmm	| dddd	| llllll	|
	---------------------------------

Or is the easier to do in excel?
