I am trying to plot several histograms in one plot using:
twoway histogram mpg, by(X)
My question is the following: My X variable is numeric, so I am having
some precision issues with the titles of the individual histograms. For
example, if X=-0.2 the title for the corresponding histogram will come
out as being "-0.2000000029802322" which is not a very pretty title...
-----------------------------------------------
This is a precision problem. Try to declare X double precision:
sysuse auto
gen double X=0.8-foreign
twoway histogram mpg , by(X)
Hope this helps
