Don't use the console version instead run your script through xstata perhaps? If its on a remote machine and you're ssh-ing in then it might be possible to set up X11 forwarding to run xstata, but how you do this would be heavily dependent on the system you are connecting from (if its another Linux machine and the server with stata has xorg installed then using the '-X' flag to 'ssh -X yourusername@target.server' enables X11 forwarding) Alternatively you might want to try exporting to Encapsulated postscript from the console version and then converting eps to png using an external system tool (if its installed) such as imagemagick as described at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/epstool.htm Neil -- “Truth in science can be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one.” - Konrad Lorenz Email - nshephard@gmail.com Website - http://kimura.no-ip.org/ Photos - http://www.flickr.com/photos/slackline/ * * 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/
