Re: st: showing row labels in -table-

[Martin Weiss <martin.weiss@uni-tuebingen.de>]

Michael,

that is a lot clearer now. I can see your point. One technique that  
Stata employs for these purposes is a "key" in the upper left corner  
as in


tabulate rep78 foreign, clrchi2 row

Another one is

tabstat price mpg, statistics( mean count ) columns(variables)

where there are row headers. Note, though, that they disappear when  
you use -by- as in


tabstat price mpg, statistics( mean count p1 p50 ) by(foreign)  
columns(variables)



You may want to try your luck with -h tabdisp- which, AFAIK, most of  
these commands call to construct their output.

I do not think this is possible with -table-, you will probably have to try
