st: Re: Re: Displaying mean in boxplot

Admittedly, my earlier solution did not give you the dot you were looking 
for, but a reference line. If you have Stata 10, fire up the graph editor 
afterwards, use the -add marker- tool and place the marker onto the 
reference line. Then highlight the reference line and kill it...
If -gr box- were part of the -twoway- family of graphs, one could imagine 
overlaying it with a -scatteri- to get the mean onto the graph more reliably 
than this...
