Svend,
Thank you for the clarification.
Looking back at the -help twoway_options- this is made clear in the
remarks.
"...the by() option applies to the entire graph and in theory you
should type
. twoway lfitci mpg weight, stdf ||
scatter mpg weight, ms(O) ||, by(foreign, total row
(1))
or
. twoway (lfitci mpg weight, stdf)
(scatter mpg weight, ms(O)), by(foreign, total row(1))
to demonstrate your understanding of that fact."
Thanks again,
Scott
