Thanks. I ended up pasting together a table and image for the first draft, but next time around I will try this. On 8/25/2010 10:21 AM, Trelle Sven wrote:
The approach previously described using markerlabels can be used for this. Here is an example The resulting plot shows text on the left (in variable "prep_label") and text, in this case risk ratios plus 95% CI, on the right of the forest plot (in variable "result"). variables "resultpos" and "prep_label_pos" determine where the text is positioned on the x-axis. The xscale option "noline" prevents Stata from drawing the x-axis. Why, because the x-axis will not only be drawn from 0.1 to 10 (see xlabel) but from 0.01 to 100 (see xscale). I usually import the graph in Powerpoint, de-group it and connect the outer ticks, group it again and save it again as emf-file. That's the only manipulation necessary. If you don't care about the x-axis line just delete the "noline" option.

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 On 8/23/2010 9:44 PM, Jeph Herrin wrote:I would like to incorporate a very simply (4x2) table into a figure. Iwould like the 4 columns to line up with the four ticks on the x-axis,but appearing below the axis. The row labels thus need to be in the left margin. In particular, I need to reproduce a figure such as one of these http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/301/14/1439/JOC90023F2 and the issue is lining up the numbers across the bottom. I have tried to set it up as a -caption()- with two strings, but have two problems. First, I cannot persuade the caption to be aligned with the left side of the graph; -span- only aligns with the left edge of the y-axis lable, whereas I have set the margin to be extra wide with -graphreg(m())-. Second, there seems to be no way other than experiment to align the 4 columns with 4 ticks on the x-axis. In the graph editor there is a "position offset" for the caption box which I can set to<0 to achieve what I want, but I cannot find any corresponding textbox_option.
