I am warming up to the new margins command. However, unlike the older adjust command, margins does not include the ability to generate new variables. I am therefore finding it hard to create graphic displays of the results.

Consider the following:

webuse nhanes2f, clear
logit diabetes i.black i.female age i.female#c.age, nolog
margins female#black, at(age = (20(10)70))

I would love to create a graphic where the Y axis was the probability of diabetes, the X axis was age, and there were 4 separate lines, for black males, black females, nonblack males, nonblack females.


I believe that the only option currently is to go manually through e(b). For example, if you add the -post- option to your -margins- command above, you could do something like this:


    mat A = e(b)'
    svmat A
    egen _age = fill(10 10 10 10 20 20 20 20)
    egen _grp = fill(1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
    separate A1, by(_grp)
    line A11-A14 _age if !mi(A1)


It wouldn't be difficult to write a little command to do this in a more general way (indeed, someone may have done it already).
