Re: st: Running loops with graphs

You make reference to "i" without defining where it fits into your code, but assuming you know where "i" goes, here a (untested) code example that should do what you are asking with some adapting on your part.

******************
forvalues i = 1/51000 {

di `"`i'"' //where does `i' plug-in in the equations below??
nl (WOR = {b0=0.1}*(1 * exp({b1=0.05}* (ageyear))))
predict a

nl log3: WOR ageyear
predict b

nl gom3: WOR ageyear 
predict c

twoway (scatter a y) (line a y, sort), legend(off) aspect(1) name(g1, replace)
twoway (scatter b y) (line b y, sort), legend(off) aspect(1) name(g2, replace)
twoway (scatter c y) (line c y, sort), legend(off) aspect(1) name(g3, replace)
gr combine g1 g2 g3, c(1) // change look of this combined graph with options
gr export "graph`i'.eps", as(eps) replace
}
******************
