Subject | st: Problems opening a Stata produced graphics file with any other program afterwards |
Date | Sun, 7 Nov 2010 20:46:33 +0100 |
Dear Statalist members, I am producing some nice graphs with Chris Roberts' cmogram command. However, after I've saved them, I cannot open or view them. I've tried both saving them as "graph.png" and as "graph.eps". I've also tried it both by adding to the graphing command the option -- saving("graphname&directory", replace) --, and by using separately, i.e. afterwards, the command -- graph save "graphname&directory", replace --. But I only get files that afterwards I can open neither directly (when I double-click on it I get the error message "invalid image") nor in Scientific Workplace/Latex (where I get the error message "current file data is bad in [graphname&directory]" or "Could not import file [graphname&directory]". Does anyone know what's wrong here? Just in case I should maybe add that before I can look at them I have to file-transfer them out of the secure data server, but I don't think the transfer program would in any way damage the files? I'm also giving you my complete graphing command: cmogram depvar indepvar if sample==1 & inrange(indepvar,90,110), scatter cutpoint(100) lineat(100) qfit histopts(bin(10)) title("Title") graphopts(note("notes" "and more notes")) saving("/directory/graph.png", replace) Thank you for any hints!
