Subject: st: Video from multiple graph exports


> Hi Folks,
> I'm considering making a movie using multiple Stata graphs, exported.
> E.g., for t=0,1,...n, graphing the data at each t, and then using a
> slide-show program to stack the graphs in time order, creating a
> "movie" illustrating how the data changes over time.
> My questions:

> 1.  Has anyone does this before, and if so, do you have
> recommendations for the most flexible slide-show program?
> Specifically, I'm wondering if there is a program that will allow for
> variable intervals between slides (e.g., t=0, 1.5, 2, 2.2,....)
>
> 2.  Is there a way to overlay a Stata graph on top of a .jpg file?
> I've been doing this manually, using -spmap- to plot my

> result in PowerPoint and aligning the .jpg overlay.
>
> 3.  Am I trying to use Stata to do something it's not suited for?  I
