Thanks to Kit Baum, there is now a new version of the -regaxis- package
available for download from SSC. In Stata, type
ssc desc regaxis
to find out more. See also the description below from my website.
The new version fixes a bug, which caused the rarely-used -marginfactors()-
option of -logaxis- not always to work as described. It also adds a new
option -singleok-, which allows the output axis tick list to be a single
tick if the entire data range is equal to a single tick value. (In default,
if the data range is equal to a single tick value, then -regaxis- and
-logaxis- add a single tick position above and a single tick position
below.) I had the idea for -singleok- during a marathon session creating
plots of confidence intervals for odds ratios on a binary log scale, for
which -logaxis- and -regaxis- can both be helpful programming tools.
Best wishes
Roger

TITLE
regaxis: Regular linear and logarithmic axis scales, ranges and tick
lists
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
The regaxis package contains 2 programs, named regaxis and logaxis.
regaxis generates a regular linear axis range and tick list for a
list of
variables and/or numbers to be included in the axis range. logaxis
generates
a regular logarithmic axis range and tick list for a list of
variables and/or
numbers to be included in the axis range. Both programs can output the
elements of the axis range and/or tick list to be stored in local and/or
global macros, which can then be used in Stata graphics commands as axis
options and suboptions, such as the the range() suboption of the
xscale() and
yscale() options, or the xlabel() ylabel(), xtick() and ytick() options.
