st: Fwd: Graphs and xscale option: plotting only an excerpt of the original distribution of variables

Hello,
I want to plot only part of a cumulative distribution. I.e. using
-distplot- to plot the following CDFs (but the basic problem is
independet of the Stata command used, i.e. it would ocurr for any
Stata command e.g. -scatter- or -line-).
distplot Var_1 Var_2 Var_3
I have the following problem: I want to see the CDFs only for some
values of the variables i.e. for
Var_1<=.5 & Var_1>=.1 & Var_2<=.5 & Var_2>=.1 & Var_3<=.5 & Var_3>=.1
In other words, I want to see only an excerpt of the original plot.
Using just the xscale option does not work, i.e. does not work:
distplot Var_1 Var_2 Var_3 xsc(r(0.1,.5)) xlabel(0.10 0.25 0.30 0.33 0.50)
Restricting the data is not what I want, i.e.
distplot Var_1 Var_2 Var_3 if Var_1<=.5 & Var_1>=.1 & Var_2<=.5 &
Var_2>=.1 & Var_3<=.5 & Var_3>=.1, xsc(r(0.1,.5)) xlabel(0.10 0.25
0.30 0.33 0.50)
would plot the distribution for certain values of Var_1, Var_2 and
Var_3. In contrast, I would like to plot the distribution for all
values but see only part of the distribution. Any ideas how to achieve
this?
Best,
R
