First off, you need to read up some basics on -encode-
and -decode-.
I know of 50 U.S. states, so I am not clear how you get
10 different graphs with 10 different states on each.
I guess 10 different graphs with 5 states on each.
First, you have to set up your grouping in advance.
Let a variable -group- indicate each subset of states.
Set it up so that the values run from 1 to 10.
A minimal recipe which you will want to complicate is
decode id, generate(ID)
forval i = 1/10 {
levelsof ID, local(IDS) clean
xtline sexratio if group == `i', subtitle("`IDS'")
}
