A tutorial on -eclplot- (including detonator plots and the -supby()- option) is available as a presentation originally given at the 2005 UK Stata User Meeting (Newson, 2005).
I hope this helps. Best wishes Roger ReferencesNewson R. Generalized confidence interval plots using commands or dialogs. Presented at the 11th UK Stata User Meeting, 17-18 May, 2005. Download from

Dear David, Nick, and Roger, Many thanks for your feedback. I agree with David and Nick, however, the team with which I am working on this settled for the bar chart. The reviewers liked how the data were displayed but requested CI's be added. I will use the links you have provided to make the case against using the detonator/dynamite plots but there is an even simpler case which is that the resulting plot will be quite busy. It is for this reason that I must make the plot. I will look at -ciplot- which, I think, does what David suggests. Nick, I used graph bar for illustrative purposes (to show the 3 level structure of the data). The example has 2 levels, race and socio-economic status while our data has 3. I could do three different graphs for each of the highest levels (e.g rep78 in the demo example) but the point was to have one graph. On -stripplot- I am a true convert/believer and use it whenever I have the opportunity to. Roger, thanks for the additional information on eclplot. I looked at the examples but it was not clear to me how to do the three levels. It is entirely possible that I am looking at this the wrong way :-( Best regards, Ronnie
