Stata 8.2, Windows 2000
I wonder if anybody can help me on this problem, which I hope is not out
of bounds on this list given that other software is involved, since it
also involves a Stata user-written command, Michael Mitchell's -graph2tex-
(downloadable from SSC), and others have posted to the list before on
LaTeX-related questions.
Essentially, despite Michael being ultra-helpful as always, neither of us
could find a way to get -graph2tex- to work with my LaTeX package (I use
fpTeX, he uses MikTeX). After firing up -graph2tex- in Stata with
. use http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/notes/hsb2, clear
. scatter read write
. graph2tex, epsfile(rw2) ht(5) caption(Reading and Writing Scores)
I then used Michael's suggested code (mixed in with my own)
> \documentclass[11pt]{article}
> %\usepackage{graphics}
> \usepackage{epsfig}
> %\usepackage{graphicx}
> \begin{document}
> \section{graph2tex}
> \subsection{Example 2: More details on {\tt graph2tex}}
>
> \begin{verbatim}
> . graph2tex, epsfile(rw2) ht(5) caption(Reading and Writing Scores)
> \end{verbatim}
>
> % exported graph to readwrite.eps
> % exported graph to rw2.eps
> \begin{figure}[h]
> \begin{centering}
> \includegraphics[height=5in]{rw2}
> \caption{Reading and Writing Scores}
> \end{centering}
> \end{figure}
> \end{document}
gave me this:

As you can see, -graph2tex- appears to export it correctly (and I've
ensured that LaTeX tries to get the graph from my C:\DATA folder). The
same outcome occurs when taking the % signs off the two /usepackage{}
commands. I've tried every possible permutation, and nothing seems to
work. Any thoughts on this would be highly appreciated.
