Hi Joe,

I thought it would be possible to solve the problem via do-File because I need to create more than one graph und it would take some time if I would change all "X"-bar symbols manually.

Nick,

Try using "X" (capital x) and then switching the font in the graph window (Edit->Preferences) to a Symbol font.

On my Windows installation of Stata, the default font is Arial and the Arial Symbol font has X-bar instead of X.

Subject: st: graph text box: special character

Hi,

I'm trying to put a text box inside a Stata graph containing the symbol "x with the line above" for mean into the box. After some tests I figured out how to put some special characters and greek symbols in the box as in this example:

twoway (line miles id, sort), text(16 5 "{&chi}{sup:2}: `m_cal_min' ")

but I couldn't find the symbol for mean.
Hope somebody can help me.

Best
-Nick
