As has been said, a variable is not allowed as an argument to -xline-. And
yet, it does tolerate repeated use, as is apparent from - help
added_line_options, marker(remarks2)-. This tolerance does not extend to the
repeated use of commata. The comma really serves to separate options from
the main command, so use it only once!
I hope that the example below gets you closer to your final destination :-)
*************
sysuse auto, clear
levelsof rep, loc(re)
loc gr ""
foreach lev of numlist `re'{
loc gr `gr' (sc pr length if rep==`lev')
su len if rep==`lev', mean
loc mean`lev' `r(mean)'
}
tw `gr', xli(`mean1', lcolor(green))/*

*/ xli(`mean3', lcolor(gold)) /*
*/ xli(`mean4', lcolor(red)) /*
*/ xli(`mean5', lcolor(black))/*

Betreff: st: Adding vertical lines at variable positions
Hi,
I have a data set with ages and eye pressures. I have the data points
that refer to pressure at a particular age labeled with different
colors (thanks to help from people on this list!!) depending on what
happened at a particular age (i.e. surgery, laser treatment, etc).
I have certain ages during which these interventions happened but I
don't have pressures for these ages, so I was trying to make colored
vertical lines at the ages missing pressures to represent what
happened at that age. I am trying to use xline, but it does not seem
to be allowing me to use a variable to define where to place the line
and it gives me an error even when I use an arbitrary number. Does
anyone know how to do this or what I am doing wrong? Below is the code
I am trying to use:
twoway (scatter pressure age if colorcode == "R", mcolor(red))
(scatter pressure age if colorcode == "Y", mcolor(yellow)) (scatter
pressure age if colorcode == "B", mcolor(blue)) (scatter pressure age
if colorcode == "K", mcolor(black)) if name == "Almj", (xline(age,
lcolor(yellow)) if colorcode == "Y"), (xline(age, lcolor(red)) if
colorcode == "R"), (xline(age, lcolor(blue)) if colorcode == "B")
Thanks in advance!
Ron
