Re: st: level and distribution plot side by side

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

Here is an example.

sysuse sp500, clear

histogram close, horizontal xsc(reverse) normal freq ysc(off)
fxsize(20) name(g1, replace) width(10)

line close date, ysc(alt) yla(, ang(h)) name(g2, replace) xla(,
format(%tddd_Mon)) xtitle("2001")

graph combine g1 g2, ycommon imargin(small)

However, this example does not imply that I just wrote down these
commands. No; this is the cleaned-up version after making numerous
small changes. Open a do-file editor with a script once you have
commands that work, expect to have to make many tweaks. -name(,
replace)- is a crucial detail.
