st: Re: AW: linepattern/msymbol in Kaplan-Meier graph?

["jmpsouza" <jmpsouza@usp.br>]

Dear Martin:
it worked. The line patterns are the same, for sts graph and two way. But it 
is possible to add the msymbols.
I used -twoway scatter mk _t if   gruponum==3, connect(stairstep) 
lpattern("__...__") msymb

Thank you.
