st: the future of the Stata graph editor?

[David Airey <david.airey@Vanderbilt.Edu>]

.

The contents of the graph editor have to be live, relative to the  
graphs in other windows. What does this mean for the future features?  
Brushing and slicing and data point identification EDA features?

I have grant money lined up to purchase Stata 10/MP, and will  
certainly give opinions.

Things I think missing are from the upgrade are:

(1) unicode support; this has gone unanswered on the list so we can  
assumed it is going to be added soon
(2) unequal variances in groups using xtmixed; more than once in the  
book Linear Mixed Models from the Stata book store did Stata come up  
short relative to Proc Mixed or R NLME with regard to modeling  
variances--it has been reported this will be added to xtmixed but it  
seems binary and count dependent variables have taken precedence
