Re: st: incorporate table into figure

[Jeph Herrin <stata@spandrel.net>]

My last post on this was so fruitful, I am trying another - in this case
I need to add a table on the left, so

http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/301/14/1439/JOC90023F3

is there some helpful option or table type I am overlooking?

I know that the previous advice about merging a graph with a table
inside a Word document (for example) will apply, just wondering
if there is a more direct way as I may have to revise this figure
many many times.

thanks,
Jeph
