Betreff: st: graphing means with std dev

I would like to generate a graph that plots the mean age with whiskers
representing the standard deviation for each level of a categorical
variable.

For example:
category 1:  70+-2.0
category 2:  71+-3.5
category 3:  72+-4.5
category 4:  73+-2.5
category 5:  74+-1.5

Ideally, I'd like a scatter plot like appearance so that each category
has a point (the mean) with whiskers (std dev).

Is this possible is Stata?

Thank you.

Mike
