Re: st: Dot chart with line at 0

[Michael Norman Mitchell <Michael.Norman.Mitchell@gmail.com>]

Dear Friedrich

  This graph seems to be suffering the same problem as "graph hbox" is 
suffering, see

http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2010-02/msg01022.html

  In Stata 10, you could type

clear all
input str5 area value
"Urban" 10
"Rural" -5
end
graph dot value, over(area) yline(0)

  and it draws a vertical line at 0. But, in version 11, it 
inappropriately (I believe) draws a horizontal line below urban.

  Until this is mended, you can use the graph editor to insert such a line.

Best regards,

Michael N. Mitchell
