Re: st: Frequency Distribution

[Maarten Buis <maartenlbuis@gmail.com>]

You can use Nick Cox's -qplot- or -stripplot- for that. Type in Stata
-findit qplot- and -findit stripplot- to find them.

*------------------ begin example ------------------
sysuse auto
qplot weight, over(foreign)
stripplot weight, separate(foreign) stack width(200)
stripplot weight, over(foreign) stack width(200)
*------------------- end example -------------------
(For more on examples I sent to the Statalist see:
