Stata can also be used (and is used, at least by me) for this type of
graphs, in particular the -twoway function- is usefull. For instance
twoway function y = x || function y=-x+1, clstyle(p2) xtitle("price")
ytitle(quantity) title("Supply and demand") legend( label(1 "supply")
label(2 "demand"))
will give you a graph of supply and demand. R is a bit more flexible
and it allows you to add greek letters and mathematical symbols. I
use stata for simple and quick and dirty diagrams, and I use R if it
gets more complicated.
