Sounds like a nice addition for Stata11 (eleven) would be PGHE-a
Programmer's Graph Helper Editor--which would be the same as the Stata10
editor *except* it would be restricted to the things that a programmer
could use syntax to write. Then, a programmer could program a graph in a
do-file, edit it using PGHE, and then take the new syntax and run as many
versions as s/he wanted. And, the existence of the existing Stata10 graph
editor (which would be retained in Stata11) would allow much more flexible
editing.
So, that's wishlist item #2 for Stata11. ;-)
