Subject | st: box and whisker plot with proportional box size? |
Date | Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:54:05 -0400 |
A colleague has shown me a couple of box and whisker plots where the width of the box (that is, the dimension that is perpindicular to the whiskers) is proportionate to the number of observations the box represents. I think it's a useful modification, and have been trying to create this myself. However there seems to be no option in -graph box- to control the width of the box. Is there a graph type and option combination that I am overlooking that will allow me to create box and whisker type plots while controlling the widths of the individual boxes? thanks, Jeph * * 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/
