<> To export graphs, see -help graph_export-. The statement in the help for -help saving_option- that "If filename is specified without an extension, .gph will be assumed." may have misled you into thinking that you could just give it a different extension and it would export for you...

I run a do file which reads: version 10 #delimit ; clear ; sysuse cancer.dta ; stset studytime, fail(died==1) ; sts graph, saving(graphtest.png, replace) ; The graph appears in the graph viewer but when I go to open png file I get the message "The file "graphtest.png" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize" I've tried saving the graph in different formats and I get the same message. The odd thing is that if I manually save the graph using the "save" icon on the graph viewer, then I have no problem; the graph saves perfectly as a png or whatever format I choose. I've tried saving graphics and pictures using other applications and I had no problem, it only seems to happen using Stata. Has anybody else had this problem? Does anyone know of a solution?
