re: st: loop for graphs

[Christopher Baum <kit.baum@bc.edu>]

I have 3 dependent variables (a1,b1,c1) that i want plot
against 1 var (x). i will be using scatter plot and  hope to use these
commands

foreach var of varlist a1-c1 {
graph twoway (scatter `var' x ) (lfit `var' x), saving(gr.gph)
}

with those line, i will only get the last graph but no the other 2
graphs.


Try

foreach var of varlist a1-c1 {
	graph twoway (scatter `var' x ) (lfit `var' x), saving(`var'.gph, replace)
}
