Re: st: Plot

Hi Max,

there might be a misunderstanding.
When Nick talks recommends to look at the name() option for graphs, he want's you
look at the help file name_option. And I guess he assumes that you are familiar with
the command line in Stata.
But from your example I assume you never have typed any command in Stata and you have
always worked by clicking on the buttons...

Well when you do your clicking and then your graph is created you see the actual
Stata command that was creating the graph.
And to this command you can add an option called name().
For example:


******** Begin example ********

sysuse auto, clear
scatter price mpg, name(name_you_choose)

********* End example *********

Best
Oliver

What happens here is that a plot is created; Plot1. Next I create Plot2 and so on. In each of these plots one series is defined. I can Enable a combination of these plots (and Diable the rest) to get my graph. To make my job easer when I have many plots, I would lilke to assign some name to these plots (instead of having Plot1, Plot2 etc).
