One should note that the set of characters that are displayable on the
command line and in the results window--which this will show you--is not
necessarily the same as the set of characters displayable on a graph.
Those displayable on a graph will be dependent on which font you have
selected for the display (and printing) of graphs.
This code will create a graph showing the mappings for the current
graph-font:
clear
set obs 255
gen str1 lab=char(_n)
gen x=_n
gen x2=x-9
gen y=mod(_n,20)
gen num=_n
graph x x2 y , s([lab][num])
Then, to include any of those characters in titles, legends, and the
like, you could do this:
forvalues i=1/255 {
local c`i'=char(`i')
}
which assigns a local macro to contain each character. Then if I wanted
to insert charcter 135 (capital S with a funny thing above it, on my
screen) in a title, I could do this:
graph <<whategver>> , t1title("`c135' is a very funny
character")
