I wondered if there is any way of adding functions onto the same graph
using a separate command (on a separate line), so as to be able to loop
over these and superimpose several (i.e. instead of using the '||' in
the 'twoway' command)
The trick is to create the graph command in a loop while storing it in
a local macro, like in the example below:
*---------------- begin example -------------------
input a b c
1 2 3
2 3 4
1 2 -3
2 3 -4
end
forvalues i = 1/4 {
local gr "`gr' function y = a[`i'] + b[`i']*x + c[`i']*x^2"
local gr "`gr', range(-3 3) ||"
}
twoway `gr'
*--------------- end example ----------------------
Hope this helps,
Maarten
