Hi Statalisters, Is there a way to append graphs? I want to automate producing graphs by a categorical variable, with with different number of lines. For example, Say you are creating time series graph of GPA by school and by subject (subject 1...20, each school offering a combination of them). Thus for each school, you have a graph with 3 to 5 different lines representing GPA in different subjects across time. The command would be something along the lines of #delimit ; tsset school year; twoway (tsline mean if school==1 & subject==7) (tsline mean if school==1 & subject==8) (tsline mean if school==1 & subject==9); twoway (tsline mean if school==2 & subject==4) (tsline mean if school==2 & subject==8); twoway (tsline mean if school==2 & subject==1) (tsline mean if school==2 & subject==2); Etc... I want to write a loop that will add lines to the graph as long as there are subjects that still need to graphed. I was thinking about using a for-loop, but I need to repeat "(tsline mean if school==__ & subject==__)" until all the subjects are accounted for.
