As with other simple questions (and there's just been a discussion about
polite and impolite responses to those a few days ago on the list),
there's a grumble, and a piece of advice. The grumble is that you should
be more explicit as to what are your variables (as without this
information, one cannot even suggest anything sensible), and the advice is
to check Nick Cox's article in Stata Journal a few issues ago.
For discrete distributions, -graph bar- or -graph pie- might be your first
approximation to Excel :). For continuous ones, -histogram- or -graph box-
might give you something to think of. -help graph- would give you more
information about different graphs Stata can produce, and for more custom
plots, you might want to try -findit- search engine.
