Indeed, you said that and I missed it. My excuse is that you didn't
spell that out as requested (-plotmatrix- (SSC)).
You might be able to figure this out from -makematrix- (SJ) but it
could be easier just to write your own loops:
sysuse auto, clear
matrix means = J(5,2,.)
forval i = 1/5 {
forval j = 0/1 {
su mpg if foreign == `j' & rep78 == `i', meanonly
matrix means[`i', `j' + 1] = r(mean)
}
}
