Zhiqiang Wang and Nick Cox have written -longplot- that does exactly what you want.
findit longplot
I have been puzzling with a new version of longplot using the new graph features in Stata 10. I call my programme -longgraph-, but it is not really ready yet, but if you would like to try it out, here it is:
Copy the codes below and save it into -longgraph.ado-

version 10
/* LONGGRAPH is inspired by 'longplot' (ZW & NJC 2001), but
compared to longplot, LONGGRAPH is rudimentary and simple
(although to the best of my current programming ability). Feel
free to improve it! */

/* like "longplot", LONGGRAPH graph values of a response variable
yvar against a time variable xvar by groupvar such that each
group is shown by a distinct connected line with different colors
and markers, depending on which scheme is used.
LONGGRAPH uses the valuelabels of groupvar for legend.
LONGGRAPH allows for parsing of twoway_options such as title,
Axis and scheme using the graphopt(string) option. Connect_options can be specified using the C(option).
Axis_choice_options is NOT implemented! However, the complete
twoway command can be retirved from the returmed local
macro: r(lg)
(use: di "`r(lg)'") for further manual elaboration. */

All,
Sorry if this question is too simple, but here goes:
I have a panel dataset. I want to create simple graphs for each unit
(called countrygroup) across time. Initially I tried -
by countrygroup: scatter data301 time
But Stata tells me by does not work with scatter. I then tried
scatter data301 time, by countrygroup
This works but Stata puts all the graphs on one page. There are over 100 of
them so they are too small to be useful. Is there anyway I can see each
graph on its own page? Or save them individually. Is there a command for
this. I know I could use the if function but this seems time consuming.
P.S (I am using Stata version 8.2)
Thanks
Daniel Wilde
