Subject | st: New version of -xrewide- on SSC |
Date | Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:37:48 +0000 |
The -xrewide- package is an extended version of -reshape wide-, and is described as below on my website. In the new version , the recently-added -lxij()- and -lxji()- options, have been renamed to -lxjk()- and -lxkj()-, which I decided were much more rational names. I hope this hasn't inconvenienced too many users.
I am currently planning to submit a Stata Journal article about the -listtab- package (the successor to -listtex-), featuring -xrewide-. The -listtab- package is a general tool for converting a general Stata dataset (or resultsset) to a variety of table formats, including TeX, LaTeX, HTML, Microsoft Rich Text Format (RTF), and XML-based dialects yet to be invented.

It saves results in variable characteristics, in addition to the dataset characteristics saved by reshape. This is done using additional options for assigning the values and/or value labels of the j-variable to characteristics of the corresponding generated output variables. These characteristics can be useful for defining column headings if the reshaped output dataset is output to a table using the listtab package, which can be downloaded from SSC.
