I believe that Kris is referring to a FAQ page posted on ATS' Stata
Faq page. I am working with him off line to see if we can solve the
problem. When (if) we find the solution I'll report back to
Statalist.

Hi,
I am struggling with a final line of code on plotting a 3way
interaction in Stata. I can run everything except the two-way code for
the scatter plot (I added ** to identify the line below). What I get
is a mix of lines, not the lovely interaction plot from the FAQ. Any
suggestions?
