Use -ssc- to install -ciplot-.

Thanks Nick and David. I've been requested to plot the sem's, so I'll
have to collapse, generate sem's, and overlay plots like David
suggested. I'll definitely check out eclplot and ciplot though for
possible future use.
Nick,
my search in Stata found eclplot fine, but didn't find ciplot. I found
ciplot.ado on the IDEAS website, but how do I get that into Stata?

Also note -ciplot- from SSC.
David gave a very interesting reference new to me. Thanks for that. In
addition,
W.S. Cleveland. 1994. The elements of graphing data. Summit, NJ: Hobart
Press
is good on graphing error bars.

also see ecloplot for an estimate and confidence limits plot for an
alternative
findit eclplot finds it for you inside stata...
also see a recent paper on different error bars that might be used...

Email me if you don't have access to the paper.
If you really want the means and standard errors you can collapse the
data set to to means, sd, and counts, derive the sems, and then plot
means and sems with a scatter and rcap plot combined in a twoway graph.
