I'm now able to do almost (more below) all that I need with respect to
generating maps in Stata, thanks to some members of the community for help
with -tmap- and related issues. In particular thanks to:
* Maurizio Pisati for writing -tmap- and for updating it. The added ability
to resize the legend in v. 2.0 is very helpful, as are the associated US map
databases and documentation (which I had originally overlooked but that he
kindly referred me to).
* Sebastian Buechte (correct last name?) for suggesting I try saving -tmap-
output as .tif files and then importing them into Word. This works
perfectly.
* Scott Merryman for originally providing US map data for use with -tmap-.
While it doesn't seem to work well with v. 2.0 it was useful with the first
version.
I will be on the lookout for a US database for use with -tmap- at the county
level. If/when anyone finds or creates one, thanks in advance for sharing
it with the community.
