Thanks to Kit Baum, various packages of
mine on SSC have been updated.
All those mentioned required Stata 8,
so users of Stata 7 or earlier should bail
out now.
-examples-
==========
I tightened the logic a little.
-onewayplot-
============
In some circumstances, observations
not in the data selected are
used by -twoway- to give a much larger
range than seems sensible. The issue
can be seen directly by
. sysuse auto
. gen y = _n in 1/20
. gen x = _n
. scatter y x
-y- and -x- vary only
between 1 and 20 in the observations
for which both are non-missing, but
-twoway- sees that -x- goes up to 74
and uses that to determine the -x- range.
This might be what you want, but I
decided in the case of -onewayplot-
that it couldn't be, and so implemented
an easy work-around.
I also documented the terminology
"strip plots" which is now common,
especially among R users.
-pairplot-
==========
The main change is that a couple of options have
been added, to give greater flexibiity in
presentation.
An example from Erik Beecroft on Statalist
led indirectly to one option being added.
-parplot- [NB differs from -pairplot-]
=========
I found and fixed a bug. I added an
extra option. I removed some small misfeatures.
If you have previously installed any or all
of these, please reinstall using -ssc-.
If you want more information, the best
way is to look at the help, and the best
way to do that is by e.g.
. ssc type examples.hlp
Completists who like to install everything
freely available, or available for free,
just in case it comes in handy some day,
can do it with a loop. Thus
foreach p in examples onewayplot pairplot parplot {
ssc type `p'.hlp
}
shows the help for each, and
foreach p in examples onewayplot pairplot parplot {
ssc inst `p', replace
}
re-installs each package.
