Dear Rick- Have you tried ecl plot? For this routine, you need a database with four variables: the value of your dots (y-axis), the lower and upper bounds of your confidence intervals (mu-1.96*se, mu+1.96*se), where mu is the value of your dots, and an id variable that gives a unique identifier for each observation (x-axis). This plot gives a number of options for endcaps, appearances of the lines or bars for confidence intervals, etc. Here's some sample code: input B cil ciu parmid -.1556 -.217 -.094 1 -.058 -.090 -.025 2 .041 .001 .081 3 .139 .066 .212 4 eclplot B cil ciu parmid, /// rplottype(rspike) /// ciopts(lc(black)) /// estopts(col(black) msiz(small)) /// title("Effect of Income on Evaluations of Democracy" "at Different Levels of Satisfaction with Democracy", col(black)) /// xtitle("Level of Satisfaction with Democracy") /// xlabel(1 "Not at All" 2 "Not Very" 3 "Somewhat" 4 "Very") /// xsca(titlegap(5)) ytitle("Coefficient for Effect of Income" "on Evaluation of Democracy") /// yline(0, lw(medthick) lc(black)) I just saw that it looks like you had solved the problem otherwise, but this is still a pretty useful command. Hope it helps.
