You might want to have a look at Nick Cox's Stata8 version of oneway...
. ssc describe onewayplot
. ssc install onewayplot [, replace]
Which should give you all the flexibility you need (although you may need to get
accustomed to the new syntax, so a copy of the [G] manual would be usfeul).
You may also find the Stata Library - Graph Examples at UCLA useful in learning the
new graphics commands (see
