Re: st: RE: radial axis to Galbraith plot

Thanks Nick .
With this version 8.2  rendition of -galbr- can circscatter be incorporated to provide the cicular axis?

My guess is that a circular scale is programmable
here, but that there is no way that any existing 
official Stata call will produce what you want. 

-galbr- doesn't seem to have been updated 
since STB-56. The following is a fairly free
translation that should not be blamed on Aurelio
Tobias. It doesn't bear a circular scale.
