You have been a brilliant help.
Thank you again,

Thank you very much Roger that does help tremendously. I wonder if
you or anyone else may also be able to help me with another graphical
problem I'm having?
I would like to truncate these plots (either the ecl or rcap plots)
so that I can 'magnify' the area where the very small (at present
invisible!) confidence intervals are. Some of the upper and lower
intervals will be outside of the range that I would like, however the
estimates would still fall into the new shorter range. I know of the
truncate option that can be applied to version 7 metagraph but
eclplot (and rcap) doesn't allow it. Does anyone know a way of doing
this please?
You can use -replace- before -eclplot- or -rcap-, as in
local cimax=200
replace max95=`cimax' if max95>`cimax' & !missing(max95)
eclplot estimate min95 max95 study, hori
However, I am wondering if what you really need is a log scale for the
confidence intervals. The -xscale()- and -yscale()- options both have
a -log- suboption to allow this. To produce a sensible set of labels
on a log axis, you might like to use my program -logaxis-, which is
part of the package -regaxis-, downloadable from SSC.
I hope this helps.
Roger
