st: New version of -eclplot- on SSC

[Roger Newson <roger.newson@kcl.ac.uk>]

Hello All

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the -eclplot- package is now available 
on SSC. In Stata, type

ssc inst eclplot

to install it.

The -eclplot- package (short for "Estimates and Confidence Limits PLOT") is 
described as below on my website. The new version has a new dialog, which 
should be easier to use than the old dialog. This is because -eclplot- 
gives the user the choice of 8 range plot types (corresponding to the 8 
range plot types of -graph twoway-), and these have distinct overlapping 
sets of available "Confidence limits" options, and the -eclplot- dialog now 
enables the options available under the currently selected range plot type 
and disables the rest.

I would like to thank James Hassell for his very helpful dialog program 
examples (which he gave on Statalist in response to my queries), and to 
thank all at StataCorp for providing and documenting their dialog language.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      eclplot: Horizontal and vertical confidence interval plots

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      eclplot creates a plot of estimates with lower and upper confidence 
limits
      on one axis against another numeric variable on the other axis. The 
estimates
      and lower and upper confidence limits are stored in three variables, 
in a
      data set with one observation per confidence interval to be plotted. 
Data
      sets with such variables may be created manually (using a spreadsheet),
      or using the parmest package, or using statsby or postfile in 
official Stata.
      The user has a choice of plotting the confidence intervals 
horizontally or
      vertically, and a choice of range plot styles for the confidence 
intervals,
      and may also overlay the confidence interval plot with other plots 
using the
      plot option. The user may use eclplot either as a command or using a 
dialog.
