end-of-course grades. In the elementary grades, a student could receive one
of 4 marks. When I add the normal curve to the plot, it begins with the
midpoint of the first category but ends at the end of the last category. Is
there a way I can either begin the normal curve at the beginning of the
first category or end the normal curve at the midpoint of the last category?
Here�s the code I�m using to generate the graph (STATA 8.2 SE on
Windows XP):
histogram elemlartnum if (gr_jun03_sasi=="01" & elemlartnum>=0 &
elemlartnum<=3),
discrete frequency normal gap(5)
bcolor(ltbluishgray)
blcolor(black) blwidth(vvvthin)
ylabel(, labels angle(horizontal))
xlabel(0 "Unsatisfactory" 1 "Satisfactory" 2 "Good" 3 "Excellent")
xtitle(First Graders' End-of-Year Language Arts Course Grades)
xscale(titlegap(4))
name(G1lartgrades, replace) scheme(s2manual);
graph export d:\g1lartgrades.emf;
Thank you.
