Dear Statalisters,
Several people have asked about using xtgraph for version 8 graphics.
After looking into what was involved, I decided that recoding xtgraph
would not be the most sensible way to go. The savedat() option
permits a simple work-around.
For example:
. preserve
. tempfile myfile
. xtgraph c, group(group) bar(se) nograph savedat("`myfile'")
. use "`myfile'", clear
. reshape wide n mean lb ub , j(group) i(week)
. * Carry out any desired version 8 graphics commands.
. * Note that -offset- is not available in Version 8.
. restore
This is included in a new helpfile, available (courtesy of Kit Baum)
via -findit xtgraph-
