One minor problem with using -separate- is that the dummy variables may not
match range of the explanatory variable.
For example,
sysuse auto,clear
xi: reg price mpg i.rep
predict fit
separate fit, by(rep) veryshortlabel
twoway line fit? mpg, ytitle(Predicted Price)
will produce rather short lines for the dummy variables, which may not be desired.
