I'll confess that I've never run -graph export- in a .do file. (I currently don't have Stata running on my machine - I can't get it started in Linux, but have not yet attempted a re-installation of 9 under Kubuntu 12.04 - and haven't used it for a good year and a half. I find I'm using R more and more, and installing that on my Linux machine was like taking candy from a baby.) However, I would simply say to anybody that they -graph export- their foo.eps file as normal, include -epsfig- and -graphicx- under the call to \usepackage{} in their LaTeX preamble code, and then run something like \begin{center} \begin{figure}[t] \begin{minipage}{\textwidth} \includegraphics{foo} \caption{This is a graph.}% {\footnote{This is a footnote.}} \end{minipage} \end{figure} \end{center} in the body of the LaTeX file. There are variations on this theme (I don't always need the {minipage} call, for instance), but it works for me. -- Clive Nicholas [Please DO NOT mail me personally here, but at <clivenicholas@hotmail.com>.
