Thanks to Kit Baum, a new package called -viewresults-
is available from SSC.
To install the package, type
. ssc install viewresults
In interactive work it would sometimes be convenient to
be able to hold on to some piece of output in a separate
window. For example, it might be helpful to keep
describe's output, i.e. a description of the data in
memory, in a separate window.
The new -viewresults- command supports this task. It
executes a command and then displays a copy of the
command's output in Stata's Viewer. For example,
. viewresults: regress price mpg
runs the regression and then opens a new Viewer window
containing the estimation results.
The viewresults package also provides a command called
-dview-, a convenience command to display the results of
-describe- in the Viewer. -dview- is a shorthand for
. viewresults, name(describe) : describe
Cheers,
ben
