st: Adding data-driven reference line to quantile plot

["Eric G. Wruck" <ewruck@econalytics.com>]

Hi there:

I am generating a series of quantile plots of quarterly returns but 
would like to flag one company (out of 150 or so that comprise the 
data).  I found one way of doing this, using yline after manually 
looking up that company's value for the quarter in question.  For 
example,

quantile ret2001Q2, recast(line) rlopts(lwidth(medthick)) ylabel(-.06 
(.01) .06, angle(horizontal)) yline(0.011) xlabel(0 .1 .2 .25 .3 .4 
.5 .6 .7  .75 .8 .9 1) xline(0 .1 .2 .25 .3 .4 .5 .6 .7 .75 .8 .9 1, 
lcolor(bluishgray))

Here I looked up the 2001, 2nd quarter return for the company in 
question & saw that its return was 0.011 -- hence, yline(0.011).

My question is: is there a way to pass something to yline from the 
data so that this doesn't have to be a manual operation (& hence 
susceptible to error)?

Thanks,

Eric
