st: Package -grcomb- updated on SSC

[alex.gamma@bli.uzh.ch]

Thanks to Kit Baum, an update of my package -grcomb- is available
from SSC. To install it, type - ssc install grcomb, replace -.

-grcomb- allows you to generate, in a single command, several
graphs of the same type and using the same options; to optionally
display them; and to combine them into a single graph window.

The main improvement in the update is that -grcomb- is now 10 times
faster (well, considerably faster).

It also has a new -name(...)- option that you probably won't need.
It allows you to give your own names to the graphs,
if you're not happy with -grcomb-'s automatic naming.

Assume you have variables y0-y9 and x0-x9. Then simply typing

. grcomb scatter y? x0*10, v(2) o(aabb)

will combine 10 scatter plots of each of y0-y9 against x0 in one  
graph window.

. grcomb scatter y? x?, v(2) o(aabb)

will show all 10 scatter plots of the pairings y0 vs x0, y1 vs x1,...  
y9 vs x9.

It's a neat little program. You should try it.

Alex

       'GRCOMB': module to combine graphs

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)

       grcomb allows you to generate, in a single command, several

       optionally display them; and to combine them into a single graph
       window. It is a wrapper for Stata's built-in graph commands, in
       particular the -graph combine- command.
