st: RE: Placement of legend above "note" in -grc1leg-

[Tim Evans <Tim.Evans@wmciu.nhs.uk>]

Hi all,

In answer to my own query I found the following code in the -grc1eg- part does the trick:

For the -b1title- option, I have given the ring() value of 4, for the note, I then specified that the ring() is 6 (so below the b1title) and also specified the position as 7. This seems to be pretty much what I'm after.

New code:

*****
grc1leg One Two Three, cols(3) ycommon ///
		l1title("Life expectancy at birth (years)") ///
		b1title("Year", size(small)) ring(4) ///
		 note("Source: National Vital Statistics, Vol 50, No. 6" ///
                  "(1918 dip caused by 1918 Influenza Pandemic)", size(tiny) ring(6) pos(7))
****

Old code
*****

grc1leg One Two Three, cols(3) ycommon ///
		l1title("Life expectancy at birth (years)") ///
		b1title("Year", size(small)) ring(6) ///
		 note("Source: National Vital Statistics, Vol 50, No. 6" ///
                  "(1918 dip caused by 1918 Influenza Pandemic)")
Best wishes

Tim

Subject: st: Placement of legend above "note" in -grc1leg-

Hi all,

I'm using Stata 11.2 and trying to combine three graphs using the user-written -grc1leg-, however I'm having a little trouble in the placement of the legend and the insertion of a note. I'm trying to place the legend below the graph and centred and place the note that I want to add to the right and below the legend. Currently my code seems to place the legend below the note and despite attempts to play with "ring" and "pos" options for both legend and note, I just don’t seem to be able to place them in the desired order. I've got an example below. Any help greatly appreciated.

Best wishes

Tim
