Here is my solution:
mata:
void plot(
real colvector y,
real colvector x,
| string scalar opts)
{
real scalar n, N, Y, X
n = rows(y)
if (rows(x)!=n) _error(3200)
N = st_nobs()
if (N<n) st_addobs(n-N)
st_store((1,n), Y=st_addvar("double", st_tempname()), y)
st_store((1,n), X=st_addvar("double", st_tempname()), x)
stata("twoway scatter " + st_varname(Y) + " " +
st_varname(X) + ", " + opts)
if (N<n) st_dropobsin((N+1,n))
st_dropvar((Y,X))
}
end
mata: y = .8913041862 \ .8708690808 \ .8413558121
mata: x = 1 \ 2 \ 3
mata: plot(y, x)
mata: plot(y, x, "c(l)")
