I am -forvalue-ing across values of a categorical variable w/ nine
unique values and generating a graph for each unique value of this
variable. This variable is numeric and i've attached a label to
each value of this variable via -label define- and -label values-.
When generating the graphs, I would like to use the -subtitle-
option to denote which level of the categorical variable is being
graphed, albeit i want the actual label value written to the graph,
not the value of the macro. The abbreviated syntax follows:
local i = 1
forvalues i = 1(1)9 {
gr hbar (mean) mean_abs_error mean_error_to_itd count_abs_error if
segment2==`i' , ///
subtitle("`i'") legend(off) ytitle("Absolute Error, Relative Error, &
Project Num.") ///
graph export m_error`i'.pdf, replace
local i = `i' + 1
}
Replacing subtitle("`i'") with subtitle("`:lab (segment2) `i''")
should give you what you want. This uses the macro extended function
-label- together with the `:extended_fcn' construct for inline access
to macro extended functions. See [P] macro (or -help macro-) for
more details.
