I think this refers to -hbox- on SSC.
That -hbox- is for version 6 and is
superseded by -graph hbox- in Stata 8.0.
It is a dead duck as far as I am concerned.
You could copy it and hack at the inside,
but it would seem easier to write some
code and call up -hplot-. Say you want
the minimum and the 80% percentile.
local j = 1
gen str1 what = ""
gen minimum = .
gen p80 = .
qui foreach v of var length turn displacement headroom {
su `v', meanonly
replace minimum = r(min) in `j'
_pctile `v' , p(80)
replace p80 = r(r1) in `j'
replace what = "`v'" in `j'
local j = `j' + 1
}
hplot minimum p80, l(what) s(||) line
