Graph editor

With Stata’s new Graph Editor, you can change how your graph looks. You can add. You can remove. You can move. You can modify. Anything. Titles, legends, axes, lines, arrows, markers, annotations.

Graph editor
Add lines and arrows with the Add-line Tool. Add text with the Add-text Tool.
Move titles, legends, lines, etc., by dragging.
Change a scatterplot to a line plot (or any kind of plot to any other kind of plot) from the contextual toolbar.
Change the aspect ratio from the contextual toolbar.
Change the properties—color, size, alignment—of any object—titles, legends, lines, axes, etc.—by double-clicking on it.
Customize the look of a point and add, remove, or customize its label by right-clicking on the point.
Add new axis ticks and add, remove, or customize labels by right-clicking on the axis.
