Re: st: accessing value labels into a loop

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

There is quite a lot you don't explain, but the main advice is to look
at -help extended fcn- to see how to look up value labels if you know
the values.

forval i = 1/3 {
       forval j = 1/3 {
              su x1 if var==`i'`j', meanonly
              local one `r(min)'
              su x2 if var==`i'`j', meanonly
              local two `r(min)'

              graph {variables} if var==`i'`j', by(variable) ///
              title(`: label (x1) `one'') xtitle(`: label (x2) `two'')
      }
}
