st: RE: Graphing Frustrations

[Benjamin Hulley <bhulley@ucsd.edu>]

Hi Nick et al.

- drinkalc - was in fact a poor example of my problem so I will use - 
oasm_agg - and I apologize for the mixing up graph and bar charts.  I 
am most interested in a box plot, though I have the same problem for 
bar graphs.  Here are the results of trying to produce a box plot of 
oasm_agg followed by a tabulation of the same variable.  Again, using 
the precursor data sets I was successfully able to produce a box plot 
of oasm_agg (the only changes to oasm_agg between the two files are 
labeling its missing values and relabeling the variable itself)

. graph box oasm_agg

r(198);

. tab oasm_agg
