I've been playing around with Nick's solution with some of my own
data, and it turns out to be quite useful, especially when I switch on
the -if e(sample)- option.
One question for StataCorp: Why are there no -(lfit y x)- and -(lfitci
y x)- options with -graph matrix? If I'm not missing anything obvious,
this would make -graph matrix- even more useful than it already is.
