Re: st: -mylabels-

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

But if you look carefully at the example given it becomes apparent
that the advice to install -myscale- is just a small slip on that
page.

In the syntax given, the command used is -mylabels-.

-myscale()- is an option to -mylabels- and the maintainer has just
confused program name and option name.

I am copying this to Karl Keesman at Survey Design with a "Hi! Karl"
and a commendation of a very useful website.

To answer your other question, -mylabels- hasn't, so far as I know,
been superseded or made obsolete by anything else.

>> Nick Cox wrote a package called -mylabels- a little while back which used to be available from SSC. Does this exist anymore? I have a twoway bar graph that plots odds ratio estimates and I can't label the xaxis from the baseline of 1 (i.e. it labels all of the log values (in multiples of 5) )and I think -mylabels- might do the trick for me. If it doesn't exist I am happy to share some example code to illustrate my problem. Perhaps it was incorporated or superseded by Stata updates.
