Re: st: dynamic graphs

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

You are looping over groups, producing a graph for each group. If you
put the } before the -graph export-, you will export just one graph.
But you don't want to do that. Therefore the } goes at the end.

Another way to see this is that

graph export "D:\data\g_`i'.wmf", replace

has a name modified by a local macro from the loop, so it belongs in the loop.
