I looked inside the program. I think you discovered a bug, or at least a limitation, of -predxcat-. It has the syntax that it allows graph options but you want to specify an option that modifies a -twoway scatter- (which is combined with other -graph- calls). As -predxcat- is written there is no way that -twoway scatter- sees that option, which is only applied once the -scatter- is drawn. (A -twoway rcap- is drawn on top of the -scatter-.) The usual way to tackle this kind of problem is to put the options for different -twoway- calls into different groups. However, I can't explain your report of this working in March but not now. So far as I can see, it shouldn't work, period. Nick n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk Hoffman, George I'm sorry nick. Thank you for trying to enforce etiquette. The source for predxcat is the ssc collection. .which predxcat *! version 3.1.1 JMGarrett 26Mar06 The program declares stata to run in version 8 mode. So I guess the question is, has there been a change in the emulation of older stata versions in the more recent stata updates (or from version 10 to 11) Nick Cox I can't find a precise source for this command. The FAQ requests "Say what command(s) you are using. If they are not part of official Stata, say where they come from: the STB/SJ, SSC, or other archives." Hoffman, George On march 30, 2010, I ran the following command without difficulty: predxcat fo2 if flush==0, xv(sample) mod gr connect(l l l) today, I get the following error: option connect() not allowed r(198); predxcat is a user-writen program by joanne garrett to compute and graph main effects from anova-type analyses. It uses scatter as the underlying graph type. Stata is updated to 11.1. * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
