Oops, naturally you meant the "[]" to indicate that the scatter options were, indeed,
optional.

Thanks, John & Kit!

In the -help-, the  quoted option "scatter[(scatter_options)]" appears to be incorrect.

e.g. in the auto data set:


. bidensity weight trunk, scatter[(mlabel(rep78))]
option [() not allowed

but omitting the square brackets works.

.bidensity weight trunk, scatter(mlabel(rep78))

TITLE
    'BIDENSITY': module to produce and graph bivariate density estimates

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)

     bidensity produces bivariate kernel density estimates and graphs
    the result using  a twoway contourline plot, optionally
    overlaying a scatterplot.  The default kernel is Epanechnikov;
    all of the kernels provided by -kdensity- are also available.
    Compared to Baum's -kdens2- (SSC), which was recently enhanced to
    produce contourline plots,   -bidensity- computes the bivariate
    kernel densities much more efficiently through use of Mata, and
    provides a choice of kernel estimators. The estimated densities
    can be saved in a Stata   dataset or accessed as Mata matrices.

    KW: density estimation
    KW: bivariate density
    KW: contourline plots

    Requires: Stata version 12.1
