st: RE: How do we format data and place the graphic in metan?
Hi Ross,
Many thanks greatly for you help, your suggestions work ok together. I
also chose to express observations as fractional effects rather than
percentage effects which lets the plot show estimates of effect sizes
without the excessive number of decimal places.
I'm glad too that you found something in this to take away for possible
further revision of metan.
Kind regards,
Geoff. L.

Hi
Regarding the placement of the graphic, I am afraid that this is fixed
and cannot be changed- the plot is always placed between the left and
right columns of data. If you have one or two particularly extreme
estimates/confidence intervals that are causing a lot of graph space to
be wasted, you could however use _xlabel(#,#,#...) and _force. This will
mean your confidence intervals are truncated in the display, but would
allow more space for the rest of the data. Note also that metan may
display symmetric x-axes either side of the null effect line- using
these options can also rectify that.
As to the excessive number of decimal places, this could be fixed
quickly by making the data into strings. Consider:
gen treatdose2 = string(treatdose, "%5.3g")
This will control the number of decimal places used as a column in
metan. I will keep a note of this however as this is something we may
want to make easier in the next update- so thanks!
Hope this helps,
Ross

I looking to improve the formatted output in the graphic of 'metan' in
v9.
I am having two problems:
1. I would like to move the central graphic right or left without moving
the columns of information/data. If I could do this I would be able to
make better use of the space within the overall graphic, and so more
clearly illustrate the results.
2. I would also like to format the columns of data in the graphic. In
particular to format the data as X.Y where X and Y are specified at
any reasonable length about the decimal point (at present I get too many
significant places). Formatting the input data doesn't affect the output
in the graphic (or so it appears).
I feel to have exhausted my exploration of metan on these problems with
only the following seemingly related information, perhaps because the
update to metan is so recent (and helpful!!)
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-02/msg00748.html.
Possible the answer is quite basic, however I have not yet stumbled on
solutions during my exploration. The code and data showing need of some
formatting in the overall graphic is given below.
What tricks am I missing? I should be grateful for potential solutions.
With thanks
Geoff Livesey
